Dyslexia articles from across Nature Portfolio

Dyslexia is a disorder characterized by an impaired ability to comprehend written and printed words or phrases despite intact vision. It can be developmental or acquired, but in either case it interferes with academic achievement or with activities of daily living that require reading skills.

Disrupted network interactions serve as a neural marker of dyslexia

Functional connectivity analyses demonstrate that individuals with dyslexia process written stimuli via a dorsal decoding route and show stronger reading-related interaction with the right cerebellum, while also providing evidence for aberrant task-related connectivity as a neural marker for dyslexia that directly impacts behavioural performance.

Cerebro-cerebellar networks facilitate learning through feedback decoupling

Behavioral feedback is critical for learning, but it is often not available. Here, the authors introduce a deep learning model in which the cerebellum provides the cerebrum with feedback predictions, thereby facilitating learning, reducing dysmetria, and making several experimental predictions.

Reforming learning disorder diagnosis following COVID-19 educational disruption

Current diagnostic criteria for learning disorders are insufficient because of ongoing COVID-19-related educational disruption. Diagnostic criteria for learning disorders should be modified to reduce the risk of misdiagnosis and ensure timely intervention.
