title: Neuroimaging sheds new light on the phonological deficit in dyslexia.
abstract: A new study reports that activations of superior temporal regions for speech are normal in dyslexia, although being less well connected to downstream frontal regions. These findings support the hypothesis of a deficit in the access to phonological representations rather than in the representations themselves.
