Dyslexia unexpectedly showed good for the brain line. As found by American scientists from northwestern University, associated with dyslexia gene makes a person better protected from concussions.
“The gene associated with dyslexia makes a person less susceptible to concussions,” said the scientists.
These experts belong to the gene KIAA0319. The study found that this gene affects the behavior of neurons in the brain and its ability to recover from injury. To such conclusion scientists came after an investigation involving football players, the athletes were tested for the presence of injuries and had a genetic analysis.
It turned out that the concussion is often diagnosed in players who had the variant gene do not cause dyslexia, whereas the people with dyslexia concussion was diagnosed much less frequently. Scientists said that “dyslexia can be a kind of neurotoxity”. According to them, dyslexics the neural network that enables the processing of oral and written speech differs from ordinary people, and its features contribute to less damage in the nerve tissues.
Dyslexia this partial disorder of reading skills, which is caused by a failure of the mental functions participating in the process of reading. Dyslexia is when people incorrectly recognize different signs and symbols, resulting in the difficulty of understanding the meaning of reading.
