K. Jednoróg: Neuroanatomy of developmental dyslexia – what are well-replicated grey matter disruptions?

Abstract
Investigations into the neuroanatomical bases of developmental dyslexia have now spanned more than 40 years. Reports of grey matter disruptions, initially based on a few individual brains in post-mortem examinations, have exploded with the widespread use of MRI. Yet, there are relatively few results that stand out as robust, well-replicated neuroanatomical differences between control and dyslexic individuals. I will present issues related to a replication crisis in dyslexia, such as small-sample research and how can we overcome this by multisite studies. I will also describe our findings, showing a need to control for a number of factors that might influence neuroanatomy, which are often not controlled in studies on dyslexia, such as socioeconomic status or early language development.
