Regions of interest from previous studies of dyslexia referred to as S (Siok et al., 2004), P (Paulesu et al., 2001) and M (Meyler et al., 2007).

Dys. = dyslexics; Nor. = normal; x y z = co-ordinates in Montreal Neurological Institute space; Zsc. = Z-scores; ns = not significant (Z < 1.64; P > 0.05 uncorrected).
