Brain plasticity: Learning to read at age 30 can significantly change the brain.

When learning to read and write, neuroplasticity overcomes a network that is already deeply rooted in the brain.
this reorganization makes us more efficient when reading characters.
reading is a relatively new ability in the history of human evolution.
fact, we don't have a clear "reading area" in our genes.
a circular process occurs in the brain as we learn to read: areas used to identify complex objects, such as faces, are involved in the conversion of characters into language.
parts of our vision system become interfaces between visual and language systems. Falk Huettig, a linguistic psychology expert at the Max Planck Institute in
, said: "Until now, it has been thought that these changes are limited to the outer layer of the brain, the corty, which adapts quickly to new changes.
researchers at the Indian Biomedical Research Centre (CBMR) and Hyderabad University in India found what happens in the brains of completely illiterate adults as they begin to learn to read and write.
contrary to past cognition, the learning process leads to the recombination of brain structures that extend deep into the cerebrocephaly and brain dryness.
writing about this relatively young human behavior alters certain brain regions that have been around for a long time from an evolutionary point of view and are still a central part of the brains of mice and other mammals.
Skeide, a scientist at the MPI CBS, said: "We observed that parts of the brain dryness and the pillows located in the cerebrosps adjust their activity patterns to the visual cortation.
" Skeide is the first author of the study, published May 24 in the journal Science Advances.
deep structures in the palavascible and brain dry parts help the visual cortation filter important information from the visual input stream before we are consciously aware of them.
interestingly, the more synchronized the signals between the two brain regions, the better the reading ability.
"So we believe that as readers become more proficient, these brain systems continuously adjust the communication between them, which may explain why experienced readers can get information more efficiently from a document," he said.
" In two villages in northern India, illiterate women spend six months learning to read and write in their native language (Hindi).
study found that learning to read as an ad year can alter certain brain regions that have previously been assigned to different skills.
team made the discovery in India, which has a 39 percent illiteracy rate.
poverty continues to limit access to education, especially for women, in some parts of India.
, almost all of the subjects in the study were women in their 30s.
early in their studies, most people can't even master a little vocabulary in Hindi, their native language.
Hindi is one of india's official languages, based on Sanskrit letters, with complex characters that describe a complete chapter or vocabulary, rather than a single letter.
six months of reading training, the subjects reached the level of first-year students.
," said Huettig, who heads the project at the U.S. Department of Education.
it is difficult to learn a new language, it is easier to learn and read.
fact that the brains of adults also have a considerable plasticity.
", the study could also be conducted in Europe.
illiteracy is considered taboo in the West, so it is difficult to find volunteers to participate in the study.
, however, the project faces challenges even in countries where reading and writing skills are linked to social classes.
scientists recruited female volunteers from the same social strata in two villages in northern India to determine whether social factors would affect the study.
brain scan was completed in Luckynow, a three-hour drive from the subject's hometown.
new perspective on dysfunction, these volunteers' progress in learning offers hope not only for illiterate people, but also for people with diseases such as dysfunction.
people have in the past attributed dysfunction to abnormal dysfunction of the cerebrocephalus.
, a neuroscientologist, explained: "We found that it took only a few months of study to fundamentally change the hypot brain, so we should take a closer look at this hypothesis."
" people who may be affected by dyschouse perform differently simply because their visual systems are not trained well enough compared to skilled readers.
this suggests that the cause of dys reading disabilities can only be explained if there are difficulties in reading before school.
Huettig added: "So it is only after years of follow-up studies that children are assessed before they start learning to read and write can the causes of dyslying be identified."
