Can Brain Scans of Young Children Predict Reading problem?

          Dyslexia is a problem that interferes with the ability of recognizes words and connects sounds with letters when people read and they may also have problem when they write. This problem involves areas of the brain that process language. They can predict which young children may struggle with reading, in order to provide early help or not. In the Boston area, fifty of the kindergarteners have been examined in a machine that shows brain activity. The goal is to study 500 children using fMBI, or functional magnetic resonance imaging. The scanner uses a high-energy magnetic field and radio waves to “look” inside the body. Brain scans may offer a more scientific way to identify problems. The brain scans measure the extent to which certain parts of the brain become active while the children do the work.
