Clinical Trial: Morphofunctional Imaging and Developmental Dyslexia

Study Type: Observational

Official Title: Morphofunctional Imaging and Developmental Dyslexia

Brief Summary: Developmental dyslexia is a frequent learning disability. The aim of this study is to analyze cortical thickness and phonological treatment in right handed adults with developmental dyslexia. They are compared to control adults paired with age and laterality. To study phonological treatment, the researchers used functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) with a rime judgement task and silent word generation.

Detailed Summary:
Sponsor: University Hospital, Tours

Current Primary Outcome: Cortical thickness [ Time Frame: 2 years ]

The average cortical thickness maps of healthy subjects and dyslexic will be compared hemisphere by hemisphere. This will identify whether there are cortical areas including cortical thickness differed significantly between normal and dyslexic.ts of different ages


Original Primary Outcome:

Current Secondary Outcome: Average cortical thickness [ Time Frame: 2 years ]

For each group, cortical thickness maps of average left and right hemispheres are compared. This will identify whether there is an asymmetry left / right in terms of cortical thickness in normal subjects and dyslexic.
