Anatomical and behavioural correlates of auditory perception in developmental dyslexia.

ABSTRACT: Developmental dyslexia is typically associated with difficulties in basic auditory processing and manipulating speech sounds. However, the neuroanatomical correlates of auditory difficulties in developmental dyslexia and their contribution to individual clinical phenotypes are still unknown. Recent intracranial electrocorticography findings associated processing of sound amplitude rises and speech sounds with posterior and middle superior temporal gyrus (STG), respectively. We hypothesize that regional STG anatomy will relate to specific auditory abilities in developmental dyslexia and that auditory processing abilities will relate to behavioral difficulties with speech and reading. One hundred and ten children (78 developmental dyslexia, 32 typically developing, age 7-15 years) completed
