It grew out of a Rodin Remediation Foundation Internationalconference held on this topic in Boulder, Colorado in 1990, whichincluded most of the world‘s experts on the genetics and neurology ofdyslexia. Ten years ago a volume on this topic would scarcely beenpossible, and now we have an emerging, comprehensive neuroscientificunderstanding of this complex behavioral disorder that goes from genesto brain to behavior. Building on recent advances in the understandingof the cognitive phenotype of dyslexia, these authors present new dataon both the etiology and brain mechanisms underlying that phenotype.Reading disability or dyslexia has a high familial recurrence rate,and is partly heritable. Genetic linkage studies are beginning toidentify the possible locations of genes influencing this phenotype.On the neurological side, several independent studies have foundneuroanatomical differences in the dyslexic brain, which are due toearly changes in brain development. Thus, contrary to the views heldby some educators that dyslexia is a myth, the results pres | 出版日期 | Book 1991 | 关键词 | behavior; brain; cognition; family studies; neurology; neuropathology; neuropsychology; psychology | 版次 | 1 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-94-011-2450-8 | isbn_softcover | 978-94-010-5081-4 | isbn_ebook | 978-94-011-2450-8Series ISSN 0927-0116 | issn_series | 0927-0116 | copyright | Springer Science+Business Media Dordrecht 1991 |
