current study aimed determining whether deviance hemispheric asymmetry auditory cortex children dyslexia also evident dyslexic adults ten adult dyslexic subjects 10 normally literate controls presented syllable ba eventrelated brain activity recorded hemispheres using wholehead magnetoencephalography control subjects auditory n100m source found asymmetrical anterior localization right left perisylvian cortex difference 078 cm n100 dipoles dyslexic adults exhibit interhemispheric asymmetry difference 006 cm results indicate reduced hemispheric laterality perisylvian regions dyslexia persists adulthood
