Neurofibromatosis 1 is associated with reading disabilities, but few associations between neuroanatomic abnormalities and reading problems have been found. We examined the neuronal bases for phonologic processing, a core component of learning to read, in 15 individuals with neurofibromatosis 1 and 1...
