1. What is new about Dyslexia
③Research, the new facts
- Ectopias consist of 50-100 neurons and glia, that in the course of neural migration, have missed their target in the
cortex and have escaped into the molecular layer through a breach in the external glial limiting membrane, accompanied
by mild disorganization of the subjacent cortical layers.
- Focal microgyri are more severe disturbances, the organization of all layers of the cortex being affected.
Several gene linked to dyslexia are playing a role in the cerebral cell migration.
