People with dyslexia often struggle with the ability to accurately decode and identify what they read. Although disrupted processing of...
New location of critical area provides hints on origin of language. Scientists have long believed that human speech is processed...
A recently evolved pattern of gene activity in the language and decision-making centers of the human brain is missing in...
Scientists say they have assembled more completely the string of genetic letters that could control how well parrots learn to imitate their owners and other sounds by using single molecule sequencing.
Major step in understanding the cause of dyslexia is taken. Scientists have discovered an important neural mechanism underlying dyslexia and shown that many difficulties associated with dyslexia can potentially be traced back to a malfunction of the medial geniculate body in the thalamus.
Just one week of speech therapy may reorganize the brain, helping to reduce stuttering, according to a study published in the August 8, 2012, online issue of Neurology, the medical journal of the American Academy of Neurology.
A new study has uncovered the neurological basis of speech motor control, the complex coordinated activity of tiny brain regions that controls our lips, jaw, tongue and larynx as we speak.
A new study reveals 70 percent of children diagnosed with autism spectrum disorders, and who have a history of severe language delay, achieved fluent speech by the age of eight.
New research shows a predictive brain signal could explain why we "hear" our inner voice, even in the absence of actual sound.
Children who stutter have less gray matter in key areas of the brain responsible for speech production, a new study reports.
Researchers discover an unusual occupational hazard for teachers. Progressive speech and language problems are more prevalent in those who teach than those with Alzheimer's disease.
Researchers show how two molecules regulate a gene implicated in speech and language impairments, as well as ASD.
