Hello,
I am writing my thesis on the effects of mindfulness meditation on reading in dyslexic children and I am looking for research on how reading works in the brain (what areas of the brain are activated, what mechanisms are involved...) that I would like to relate to the areas of the brain that are activated during meditation.
I know that now, thanks to neuroimaging, we have more accurate data but I can't find any solid documents on it.
Thank you for reading my message and I hope to find answers here.
Good continuation in your work and research.

Bonjour,
Je fais mon mémoire sur les effets de la méditation de pleine conscience sur la lecture des enfants dyslexiques et je cherche des recherches sur le fonctionnement de la lecture dans le cerveau (quelles zones du cerveau sont activées, quels mécanismes sont mis en jeu ...) que j'aimerais mettre en relation avec les zones du cerveau qui sont activées pendant la méditation.
je sais que maintenant, grâce à la neuro imagerie, nous avons des données plus précises mais je ne trouvent pas de documents solides là dessus.
Merci d'avoir lu mon message et j'espère trouver ici des réponses.
Bonne continuation dans vos travaux et vos recherches.

I try to answer not with what i studied for my neurology exam.
Reading is a really complex function, which, in the normal person, actually stresses out several different brain skills as auditory, visuospatial and logic ones.
Basically in the individual without hearing problems, reading, both with loud voice or in his mind, means transforming the graphems into their correspondant sound, and after having "heard" it understanding through wernicke's area ad insular language centre.
People who, themselves, have hearing problems since their birth, are probably able to skip this two-phase process and, directly send the graphems to be logic matched with a meaning in the language area, without converting them into sound.
Sounds clear that the temporoparietal networks where the recognition of graphems as meaningful visual elements must function in order to keep this process, and it is here, where the visual part of reading happens, that dyslexia happens, if something goes wrong.
You can find these information on Adams and Victor's principles of Neurology.
Good luck for your thesis!
