From Scaffolding to Screens: Understanding the Developing Brain for Reading

May 4, 2020

CNS 2020 Press Release May 4, 2020 – In the debate about nature versus nurture for developing reading skills, cognitive neuroscientists have a clear message: both matter. From infancy, children have a neural scaffolding in place upon which environmental factors refine and build reading skills. In new work being presented today at the Cognitive Neuroscience […]

Decoding Reading in the Brain

July 19, 2016

Imagine trying to read a word – even this very sentence – and the letters all looking like a jumbled mess. You can see letters but they no longer make sense. This recently happened to patients who were in a unique study to investigate the origins of reading in the brain. These patients, who had […]

Sizing Up Living Brain Tissue

March 17, 2016

What if we could reliably measure children’s brain circuits to predict reading ability just as we measure their height and weight to predict physical development? That is a question Brian Wandell has been exploring for the past 30 years – how to use neuroimaging techniques like MRI to quantify the properties and activity of living […]

Getting Past Dyslexia Myths: How Neuroscience Has Helped

November 28, 2014

Guest Post by Priya Kalra, Harvard University  Although scientists now understand dyslexia better than ever before, it is still a condition shrouded in myth and misunderstanding. I first came to see our flawed perceptions of dyslexia while tutoring a 4th grader. Despite normal intelligence and effort, he could not read. I saw how the frustration this caused […]
