^cAreas of overlap between the brain areas activated in reading per se and the hypoactivations reported by Paulesu et al. (2001) in dyslexics during reading. Cluster‐size: a = 778 voxels; b = 249 voxels; c = 201 voxels; d = 156 voxels; e = 143 voxels; f = 137 voxels; g = 76 voxels; h = 30 voxels; i = 22 voxels.
