these results aren't very surprising but i guess it's good that they did a study. the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex is essential for executive functions like working memory, as the article notes. this means that if you have a strong DLPFC, you can more easily orient your attention towards a goal, check your progress, maintain your effort, and monitor yourself in the meantime. so basically if you are monitoring your own cognition efficiently while doing the task, you can catch dyslexic mistakes and correct them in your comprehension. that's my hypothesis at least. it's very tough to really say these things with confidence because the DLPFC is implicated in an entire smattering of learning disabilities and executive functions and so generalized lower activity/density may have an innumerable quantity of consequences.
