Music Training Enhances Brainstem Sensitivity To Speech Sounds At a press briefing, Saturday, Feb. 20, at the American Association for the Advancement of Science annual meeting, a Northwestern University neuroscientist argued that music training has profound effects that shape the sensory system and should be a mainstay of K-12 education... Universal Eye Problem Leads To Better Vision 'Crowding', the phenomenon when people are less able to differentiate letters if they are surrounded by other letters, actually leads to better vision. This is the conclusion of Dr Frans Cornelissen, who together with Dr Ronald van den Berg and Prof. Jos Roerdink is the first to succeed in explaining crowding with a mathematical model... UC Innovation Promises New Hope For Children With Dyslexia Reading and retaining information. That's the challenge faced by the one in five children who have some form of dyslexia. Overcoming that challenge could soon become easier for educators and children thanks to pioneering design research from the University of Cincinnati's internationally ranked College of Design, Architecture, Art, and Planning (DAAP)... Dyslexia Defined: New Yale Study 'Uncouples' Reading And IQ Over Time Contrary to popular belief, some very smart, accomplished people cannot read well. This unexpected difficulty in reading in relation to intelligence, education and professional status is called dyslexia, and researchers at Yale School of Medicine and University of California Davis, have presented new data that explain how otherwise bright and intelligent people struggle to read... Optometric Vision Therapy Helps Children With Math Problems "The incidence of individuals with a mathematics learning disability is between 6 - 7% of the population." Since there are more than 300 million individuals in the United States, up to 21 million men, women, and children may be affected by this disorder... New Brain Findings On Dyslexic Children The vast majority of school-aged children can focus on the voice of a teacher amid the cacophony of the typical classroom thanks to a brain that automatically focuses on relevant, predictable and repeating auditory information, according to new research from Northwestern University... Neural Mechanism Reveals Why Dyslexic Brain Has Trouble Distinguishing Speech From Noise New research reveals that children with developmental dyslexia have a deficit in a brain mechanism involved in the perception of speech in a noisy environment... Highlights From The 158th Acoustical Society Of America Meeting In San Antonio Everyone listens to music at least now and then. For many of us, music is a casual experience, a moment's entertainment. But for those who practiced in a school orchestra or who play a musical instrument professionally, the musical experience can be something more... Scientists Locate Literacy In The Brain With The Help Fof Former Colombian Guerrillas A unique study of former guerrillas in Colombia has helped scientists redefine their understanding of the key regions of the brain involved in literacy. The study, funded by the Wellcome Trust and the Spanish Ministry of Education and Science, has enabled the researchers to see how brain structure changed after learning to read... Dyslexia Varies Across Language Barriers Chinese-speaking children with dyslexia have a disorder that is distinctly different, and perhaps more complicated and severe, than that of English speakers. Those differences can be seen in the brain and in the performance of Chinese children on visual and oral language tasks, reveals a report published online on October 12th in Current Biology, a Cell Press publication... Gene Associated With Language, Speech And Reading Disorders A new candidate gene for Specific Language Impairment has been identified by a research team directed by Mabel Rice at the University of Kansas, in collaboration with Shelley Smith, University of Nebraska Medical Center, and Javier GayÃ¡n of Neocodex, Seville, Spain... Stop Seeing Red By Looking Through Blue-Tinted Lenses, UK As the UK enters a summer of discontent, one company has a vision to make the outlook decidedly brighter - by looking at life through blue-tinted spectacles. Wearing blue lenses has a calming effect, can reduce appetite and even help with dyslexia... Neurological Differences Support Dyslexia Subtypes Parts of the right hemisphere of the brains of people with dyslexia have been shown to differ from those of normal readers. Researchers writing in the open access journal BMC Neuroscience used magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to compare the two groups, and were able to associate the neurological differences found with different language difficulties within the dyslexic group... Discoveries Shed New Light On How The Brain Processes What The Eye Sees Researchers at the Center for Molecular and Behavioral Neuroscience (CMBN) at Rutgers University in Newark have identified the need to develop a new framework for understanding "perceptual stability" and how we see the world with their discovery that visual input obtained during eye movements is being processed by the brain but blocked from awareness... $5 Million Grant Funds Yale Study Aimed At Identifying A Genetic Test For Dyslexia Yale School of Medicine scientist Jeffrey R. Gruen, M.D., has received a $5.2 million grant from the Manton Foundation to further his research on the genetics of dyslexia. Gruen's discovery of a gene involved in dyslexia was named one of the top 10 scientific breakthroughs of 2005 by the journal Science...
