Brain imaging studies have explored the neural mechanisms of recovery in adults following acquired disorders and, more recently, childhood developmental disorders. However, the neural systems underlying adult rehabilitation of neurobiologically based learning disabilities remain unexplored, despite their high incidence. Here we characterize the differences in brain activity during a phonologica...

To investigate the association of KIAA0319 gene polymorphisms and developmental dyslexia in individuals of Uyghurian descent. Eighteen single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) of gene KIAA0319 were screened in a group of 196 patients with dyslexia and 196 controls of Uyghur descent by determined the genotypes using a custom-by-design 48-Plex SNPscanTM Kit. SAS 9.1.3 software were used for data ana...

The present article suggests an extended neuroconstructivistic research strategy for assessing the causes of dyslexia. Instead of following one line of argumentation, such as the influence of auditory perception on the development of phonological awareness, a systematic facet model is suggested to identify the development of singular, bi-, and cross-modal perception, attention, and higher cogni...

Developmental dyslexia has been associated with a deficit in temporal processing, but it is controversial whether the postulated deficit is pansensory or limited to the auditory modality. We present psychophysical assessment data of auditory and visual temporal processing abilities in children with dyslexia. While none of the dyslexic children displayed temporal processing abnormalities in the ...

This study examines morphological awareness in developmental dyslexia. While the poor phonological awareness of dyslexic children has been related to their difficulty in handling the alphabetical principle, less is known about their morphological awareness, which also plays an important part in reading development. The aim of this study was to analyze in more detail the implications of the phon...
