Abstract
Recent studies in the field of dyslexia suggested that brain differences in auditory and phonological regions of the temporal lobe are driven by family risk (FR) rather than reading outcome. Therefore, we aim to determine the influence of FR in the pre-reading stage. In this research seminar, I will present the findings of the pre-reading dMRI data in children at risk for dyslexia. I will also shed some light on the behavioral data we have collected so far.
