A meta-analysis of functional neuroimaging studies on developmental dyslexia across European orthographies: the ADOD model

According to the “classic” and “new” model, developmental dyslexia (DD) is associated with dysfunctions of left temporoparietal (TP), ventral occipitotemporal (vOT) frontal brain circuits. However, these models make different anatomo-functional predictions about effects age orthographic depth on neural correlates DD. To test influence their interaction neurobiology reading we meta-analyzed 34 fMRI studies by combining CluB GingerALE methods. Our meta-analytic results challenged both allowed us generate a refined neurocognitive framework called “Anatomo-functional, Developmental, Orthographic Depth (ADOD) model DD”. The ADOD describes interacting orthography DD suggests brand new conceptions role TP cortex in together subtler parcellation vOT areas according rostro-caudal gradient.
