Neurobiology of Developmental Dyslexia: Results of a Ten Year Research Program.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Galaburda, Albert M. – Learning Disabilities: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 1997
This paper summarizes research currently being conducted on the biologic underpinnings of learning disorders, particularly dyslexia. The research findings discussed are derived from studying neuroanatomic, neurophysiologic, neurogenetic, neuroimaging, and behavioral characteristics in animal models that exhibit developmental brain anomalies and…

Neurogenetic and Neurodevelopmental Pathways to Learning Disabilities.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Mazzocco, Michele M. M.; And Others – Learning Disabilities: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 1997
This paper reviews ongoing research designed to specify the cognitive, behavioral, and neuroanatomical phenotypes of specific genetic etiologies of learning disability. The genetic disorders at the focus of the research include reading disability, neurofibromatosis type 1, Tourette syndrome, and fragile X syndrome. Implications for identifying…

Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Shaywitz, Bennett A.; And Others – Learning Disabilities: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 1997
This paper discusses the results of two learning disabilities investigations conducted at the Yale Center: (1) research from longitudinal studies on the development of children not identified as having a disability and (2) neurobiological studies that employ functional magnetic resonance imaging. Other ongoing studies at the center are also…
