  "account": "Maryanne Wolf, a neuroscientist, has dedicated her research to studying the neural connections involved in reading. She has authored several books, including Cómo aprendemos a leer and Lector, vuelve a casa, and over 160 scientific publications on dyslexia and reading. Wolf argues that humans are not naturally inclined to read and that the brain must make a significant effort to transform written symbols into meaningful text. According to Wolf, the ability to read has had a profound impact on human thought and culture, particularly in ancient Greece, where the shift from an oral to a written culture led to a surge in creativity, invention, and discovery.",
  "summary": "The expert believes that we are facing a paradigm shift similar to the transition from an oral to a written culture in classical Greece: “Socrates said that reading would replace memory. It's true that it displaces it, but it doesn't entirely replace it.”",
