Developmental dyslexia is not just a literacy problem. Dyslexics' reading and spelling
difficulties are but two of a much larger number of differences between dyslexic and normal …

Many reports suggest that the majority of dyslexic children have a measurable disorder of
the fast processing pathway of the visual system. This pathway is believed to extend from the …

According to the magnocellular theory of dyslexia, otherwise intelligent children may fail to
learn to read because of abnormalities in the magnocellular layers of the lateral geniculate …

Numerous studies have found visual deficits associated with dyslexia. This has made it
important to understand how these deficits may be related to reading difficulties. A widely …

Reading disability is a relatively common developmental disorder, the aetiology of which is
clouded by conflicting theoretical approaches and the heterogeneity of the subtypes found …

WE tested the hypothesis that in a cluttered visual scene, the magnocellular (M) pathway is
crucial for focusing attention serially on the objects in the field. Since developmental …

Developmental dyslexia affects up to 10 per cent of the population and it is important to
understand its causes. It is widely assumed that phonological deficits, that is, deficits in how …

The present study investigated the spatial distribution of visual attention in dyslexic and
normally reading children. The performances of the two groups were investigated using two …

It has been proposed that magnocellular deficits cause dyslexia through reduced attention.
According to one model (Vidyasagar, Clinical and Experimental Optometry 2004; 87: 4–10) …

Extraordinary progress in functional brain imaging, primarily advances in functional
magnetic resonance imaging, now allows scientists to understand the neural systems …
