Dual Brain Networks Engaged in Reading Process.

Two distinct brain networks in the frontal and temporal lobes work together to integrate the meaning of words and obtain higher-order meaning when reading. Researchers used implanted electrodes in the brains of patients to identify the specific roles and interactions of the brain areas involved in reading. Understanding the science behind the complex process of reading could help guide treatment options for dyslexia, which affects approximately 15% of people living in the U.S.
