(Université de Genève) Dyslexia is a frequent disorder of reading acquisition that affects up to 10% of the population. Although several possible causes have been proposed for dyslexia, the predominant one is a phonological deficit associated with changes in rhythmic or repetitive patterns of neural activity in a sound-processing region of the brain.
