How the brain tackles reading

A new India-focused study provides fresh insights into the subject

Reading is a very recent acquired skill in evolutionary terms. Areas of the brain, evolved for visual pattern-recognition, are activated to understand letters and involved in the mental translation from visual letters to spoken language.  

A recent India-focused study on adult literacy provides new insights into how the brain tackles reading.

A group of eight scientists co-wrote a paper published in the peer-reviewed journal, Science Advances (http://advances.sciencemag.org/content/3/5/e1602612 ).
