Abstract
Adults with reading disabilities (RD) often struggle with slow and dysfluent reading throughout their life, even following behavioral intervention. Research suggests that improvement in reading speed and fluency is accompanied by critical changes in the brain’s left-lateralized reading network. This network consists of two major pathways: a dorsal pathway with a major node at the supramarginal gyrus (SMG), and a ventral pathway with a major node at the middle temporal gyrus (MTG). Theta-burst stimulation (TBS) to key nodes of the reading network (MTG and SMG) has been shown to produce behavioral changes in word reading (1,3,4).
