Verbal short-term memory in developmental dyslexia: the role of the temporoparietal area Open
Developmental dyslexia (DD) is characterized by difficulties in reading due to a core impairment in phonological awareness. The clinical manifestation also includes a more general auditory verbal short-term memory (vSTM) dysfunction. Howev…

Elevated unanticipated acoustic startle reactivity in dyslexia Open
People with dyslexia, a neurodevelopmental disorder of reading, are highly attuned to the emotional world. Compared to their typically developing peers, children with dyslexia exhibit greater autonomic nervous system reactivity and facial …

Semantic Strength in Dyslexia: neurocognitive correlates of semantic fluency Open
Most studies of dyslexia focus on domains of impairment: reading and phonology among others. Few studies on dyslexia examine possible strengths. In the present study, we investigated a cognitive strength in English-speaking children with d…

Examining the relation between bilingualism and age of symptom onset in frontotemporal dementia Open
Bilingualism is thought to confer advantages in executive functioning, thereby contributing to cognitive reserve and a later age of dementia symptom onset. While the relation between bilingualism and age of onset has been explored in Alzhe…

A novel approach to subtypes of developmental dyscalculia Open
Developmental dyscalculia (DD) is an heterogenous neurodevelopmental learning disability that manifests as persistent difficulties in learning mathematics. DD can occur in isolation but is often diagnosed as a co-occurring difficulty in ch…

Children with developmental dyslexia show elevated parasympathetic nervous system activity at rest and greater cardiac deceleration during an empathy task Open
Reading difficulties are the hallmark feature of dyslexia, but less is known about other areas of functioning. Previously, we found children with dyslexia exhibited heightened emotional reactivity, which correlated with better social skill…

Development of an Abbreviated Adult Reading History Questionnaire (ARHQ-Brief) Using a Machine Learning Approach Open
Several crucial reasons exist to determine whether an adult has had a reading disorder (RD) and to predict a child’s likelihood of developing RD. The Adult Reading History Questionnaire (ARHQ) is among the most commonly used self-reported …

The resilience of the developing reading system: multi-modal evidence of incident and recovery after a pediatric stroke Open
Decades of neuroscientific findings have elucidated the highly specialized brain areas involved in reading, especially along the ventral occipitotemporal stream where the critical step of recognizing words occurs. We report on a 14-year-ol…

Functional and morphological correlates of developmental dyslexia: A multimodal investigation of the ventral occipitotemporal cortex Open
Background and Purpose The ventral occipitotemporal cortex (vOT) is a region crucial for reading acquisition through selective tuning to printed words. Developmental dyslexia is a disorder of reading with underlying neurobiological bases o…

Cortically constrained shape recognition: Automated white matter tract segmentation validated in the pediatric brain Open
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Manual segmentation of white matter (WM) bundles requires extensive training and is prohibitively labor‐intensive for large‐scale studies. Automated segmentation methods are necessary in order to eliminate operator d…

Development of an Abbreviated Adult Reading History Questionnaire (ARHQ-Brief) Using a Machine Learning Approach Open
Several crucial reasons exist to identify whether an adult has had reading disorder (RD) and to predict a child’s likelihood of developing RD, which is known to be primarily genetically transmitted. The Adult Reading History Questionnaire …
