Regional comparisons (cortical surface area and thickness) were performed on a well described sample of adults with reading disability alone (RD), nonverbal giftedness alone (G), and reading disability and nonverbal giftedness combined (GRD). These anatomical results are considered in relation to behavioral and functional work previously reported on this sample. GRD-RD regional differences were found in both hemispheres and were more common than GRD-G differences. Regional differences were found in the temporal, parietal, occipital and frontal lobes. While these data are preliminary given the small sample sizes, they suggest future avenues of research on the neurodevelopment of atypical samples.
对一组描述详尽的成年人样本进行了区域比较（皮质表面积和厚度），该样本包括单纯阅读障碍者（RD）、单纯非言语天赋者（G）以及阅读障碍与非言语天赋兼具者（GRD）。这些解剖学结果与之前针对该样本所报告的行为和功能研究相关联进行考量。在两个半球均发现了GRD与RD之间的区域差异，且这种差异比GRD与G之间的差异更为常见。在颞叶、顶叶、枕叶和额叶均发现了区域差异。鉴于样本量较小，这些数据是初步的，但它们为非典型样本的神经发育研究指明了未来的研究方向。
