1. A method of analyzing cerebral white matter in the brain of a living individual for use in evaluating a range of verbal and non-verbal cognitive processing and capacity comprising the steps of:

  • a) measuring microstructure of cerebral white matter in the brain using magnetic resonance diffusion tensor imaging (DTI), b) determining neuronal fiber integrity in the cerebral white matter from the measured microstructure, and c) correlating neuronal fiber integrity to a measure of cognitive processing of the individual to determine the possibility of developing, or the presence of, dyslexia.
