This article concerns the correlation between children with dyslexia and brain morphology. Computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) studies suggest that five major differences exist between dyslexic and typical children. Primarily, the genu of the corpus callosum is significant smaller in dyslexic children. Secondly, the corpus callosum in dyslexic children with family history is larger and thicker.
