I'd like to know whether the physiologic/neurologic basis of dyslexia is known? Or whether it even exists or it's just "learning disability", like low IQ? I mean is it known, for instamce, where in the brain is the "center" for dyslexia or the "center" of correct spelling/reading and if XYZ neurotransmitter is missing/excessive, a person becomes dyslexic? Do dyslexic parents beget dyslexic children? Can a spelling bee turn dyslexic one day? Etc.
