A normal brain has grey matter or nerve cells near its surface and white matter which connects the grey matter deeper inside. The team found that the brains they imaged were more disordered. They posited that this was the cause of reduced fluent reading skills.The study was led by Harvard Medical School professor Christopher A. Walsh, Beth Israel Deaconess...
