The characteristics of language structure and writing system may explain why some bilingual people are dyslexic in English, but not in their other proficient language. Read More
Non-invasive transcranial alternating current stimulation (tACS) applied over the auditory cortex had a pronounced beneficial effect on those with dyslexia. Read More
People with dyslexia experience difficulties when acoustic variation was added to speech sounds. In the absence of the variation, neural speech sound processing was consistent between dyslexic and typical readers. Difficulties in detecting linguistically relevant information during acoustic variation in speech may contribute to a dyslexic person's deficits in forming native language phoneme representations during infancy.

A structural brain scaffold in infants serves as a foundation for literacy. Language and reading may refine this pre-existing brain scaffold. The study also reveals robust language networks activate while children sleep if stories are read to them during slumber. Read More
Visual processing problems in children have been linked to dyslexia, problems with motor skills, and difficulties in mathematics. Read More
Children whose mothers were exposed to PBDE flame retardants while pregnancy had less efficient reading networks, and increased risk of developing reading disorders. Read More
New findings dispute the popular cerebellar deficit hypothesis of dyslexia. Researchers report the cerebellum is not engaged during reading in typical readers and does not differ in children with dyslexia. Read More
The left and right hemispheres of the brain are characterized by different word processing strategies. Read More
fMRI brain scans reveal semantic tuning during both reading and listening to words are highly correlated in selective areas of the cerebral cortex. The new brain maps enabled researchers to accurately predict which words would active specific regions of the cortex. Read More
Researchers propose Leonardo da Vinci's dyslexia may have contributed to his creativity and artistic skills. Read More
Contrary to popular belief, developmental dyslexia is not caused by a structural dysfunction in the cerebral cortex, researchers report. A new study reveals developmental dyslexia is the result of a decrease in white matter connectivity between the mPT and MGB. Read More
