Neuroanatomical correlates of developmental dyscalculia: combined evidence from morphometry and tractography

Neuroanatomical correlates of developmental dyscalculia: combined evidence from morphometry and tractography

Poor mathematical abilities adversely affect academic and career opportunities. The neuroanatomical basis of developmental dyscalculia (DD), a specific learning deficit with prevalence rates exceeding 5%, is poorly understood. We used structural MRI and diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) to examine macr...
