Metabolic Abnormalities in Development Dyslexia Detected by 1H Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy
Lancet 351:1849-1852, Rae,C.,et al, 1998
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
We suggest that the observed differences reflect changes in cell density in the temporo-parietal lobe in developmental dyslexia and that the altered cerebral structural symmetry in dyslexia is associated with abnormal development of cells or intracellular connections or both.The cerebellum is biochemically asymmetric in dyslexic men,indicating altered development of this organ.These differences provide direct evidence of the involvement of the cerebellum in dyslexic dysfunction.
