...researchers, led by Dr. Albert Galaburda of Harvard and Beth Israel Hospital in Boston, collected brains from dyslexics after the subjects had died, comparing these suspect brains with normal ones. Generally, they found, the neurons (nerve cells) in the MGN are the same size in both the right and left hemisphere of the brain. But in the dyslexia cases, notes team member Glenn Rosen, a Harvard neuroscientist, "we found that the size of the neurons is smaller in the left hemisphere than it is in the right hemisphere." The size differential is only 10% to 15%, but that...
Before leaving Harvard, Blackmore had assembled an Advisory Committee to the HDAG on which Associate Professor of Neurology Dr. Albert M. Galaburda, Professor of Geology Stephen J. Gould and Professor of Education Howard E. Gardner among others served. The committee was never contacted by the University, she says...
Margaret S. Livingstone, professor of Neurobiology, and Galaburda, chief of behavioral neurology at Beth Israel Hospital, have developed a way of diagnosing dyslexia through measuring the brain's response to certain visual stimuli. By measuring the speed of different brain waves, known as "evoked potentials," they can detect patterns characteristic of dyslexia...
With early detection, Livingstone and Galaburda hope to minimize the obstacles dyslexics have traditionally faced in school...
