Structural Neuroimaging Studies | Left angular gyrus Left inferior frontal gyrus Left fusiform gyrus |
Left angular gyrus Right intraparietal sulcus |
Functional Connectivity Studies | Left angular gyrus Left inferior frontal gyrus Left fusiform gyrus |
Left angular gyrus Left intraparietal sulcus Right intraparietal sulcus |

The brain regions listed here have been characterized as neuroanatomical correlates of dyslexia or dyscalculia in all four types of studies included in this systematic review (functional neuroimaging studies, structural neuroimaging studies, functional connectivity studies, and lesion-symptom mapping studies), with the exception of the intraparietal sulci. The review did not identify any structural neuroimaging studies that characterized the left intraparietal sulcus as a neuroanatomical correlate of dyscalculia, nor did it identify any lesion-symptom mapping studies that characterized the right intraparietal sulcus as a neuroanatomical correlate of dyscalculia.
