Neurodevelopmental disorders appear to be rising in prevalence, according to the recent
Global Burden of Disease Study. This rise is likely to be multi-factorial, but the role of certain …

Understanding the neurophysiological mechanisms that drive human behavior has been a
long-standing focus of cognitive neuroscience. One well-known neuro-metabolite involved …

The asynchrony theory of dyslexia postulates weaker visual (orthographical processing) and
auditory (phonological processing) network synchrony in dyslexic readers. The weaker …

Abstract Leif Hertz, MD, D. Sc.(honōris causā)(1930–2018), was one of the original and
noteworthy participants in the International Conference on Brain Energy Metabolism …

Cognitively demanding experiences, including complex skill acquisition and processing,
have been shown to induce brain adaptations, at least at the macroscopic level, eg on brain …

Abstract Background/Objective The “neural noise” hypothesis suggests that individuals with
dyslexia have high glutamate concentrations associated with their reading challenges …

Several etiological theories, in particular neuronal noise and impaired auditory sampling,
predicted neurotransmission deficits in dyslexia. Neurometabolites also affect white matter …

A fundamental educational requirement of beginning reading is to learn, access, and rapidly
process associations between novel visuospatial symbols and their phonological …

Children with dyslexia exhibit slow and inaccurate reading, as well as problems in executive
functions. Decreased signal activation in brain regions related to visual processing and …

There is a growing interest in understanding dyslexia and the mechanisms involved in
reading difficulties. Inquiries into the morphological and physiological changes of the brain …
