Brain signatures and types of difficulties children of a lower socioeconomic status experience when it comes to reading are different from those children who struggle to read but are from a higher socioeconomic status.
Researchers argue those with dyslexia are specialized to explore the unknown. This explorative bias has an evolutionary basis that plays a crucial role in human survival.
Neuroimaging reveals surprisingly few links between white matter structure and reading ability in children.
Visual processing speed is reduced in children with dyslexia, a new study finds.
A new, non-invasive neuroimaging technique allowed researchers to investigate the visual sensory thalamus, a brain area associated with visual difficulties in dyslexia and other disorders.
The first two years of primary education are a critical point for the development of the brain's reading network in children, researchers say.
Neuroimaging study reveals a biological deficit in some children with dyslexia that impairs phonological decoding.
Children at high risk for dyslexia have trouble learning new words after hearing them, a new study reports. Results show those at risk of dyslexia have border difficulties in processing language in the brain, which may account for why reading difficulties occur.
Identifying musical dyslexia could help explain why some musicians are proficient at reading musical scores, while others excel when it comes to playing by ear.
A new book helps researchers screen for potential reading difficulties in young children.
Children with dyslexia show stronger emotional responses than their peers without the disorder. The higher emotional reactivity was correlated with stronger activation in the salience network of the brain, a system that supports self-awareness and emotion.
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.
