Dyslexia is a neurodevelopmental disorder that is characterised by slow and inaccurate
word recognition. Dyslexia has been reported in every culture studied, and mounting …

Delineating the functional organization of the prefrontal cortex is central to advancing
models of goal‐directed cognition. Considerable evidence indicates that specific forms of …

The Dyslexia Debate examines how we use the term" dyslexia" and questions its efficacy as
a diagnosis. While many believe that a diagnosis of dyslexia will shed light on a reader's …

Brain regions are not independent. They are interconnected by white matter tracts, together
forming one integrative complex network. The topology of this network is crucial for efficient …

Dynamic changes in neurochemistry, fiber architecture, and tissue composition occur in the
adolescent brain. The course of these maturational processes is being charted with greater …

Investigations into the neuroanatomical bases of developmental dyslexia have now
spanned more than 40 years, starting with the post-mortem examination of a few individual …

Few parents of a teenager are surprised to hear that the brain of a 16-year-old is different
from the brain of an 8-year-old. Yet to pin down these differences in a rigorous scientific way …

Individuals with developmental dyslexia vary in their ability to improve reading skills, but the
brain basis for improvement remains largely unknown. We performed a prospective …

In this review paper we address whether deficits in reading (ie developmental dyslexia) are
rooted in neurobiological anomalies in white matter tracts. Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) …

White matter tissue properties are highly correlated with reading proficiency; we would like
to have a model that relates the dynamics of an individual's white matter development to …
