Dyslexia may be detected in pre-school children

Brain scans may allow detection of dyslexia in pre-school children even before they start to read, say researchers.

SIA, citing BBC News, reports that a US team found tell-tale signs on scans that have already been seen in adults with the condition.

And these brain differences could be a cause rather than a consequence of dyslexia - something unknown until now - the Journal of Neuroscience reports.

Scans could allow early diagnosis and intervention, experts hope.

The part of the brain affected is called the arcuate fasciculus.
