Developmental dyslexia (DD) is a multifaceted learning disorder characterized by a specific impairment in fluent reading, which is often accompanied by altered phonological processing of speech. Despite a growing body of research striving to understand its neurobiological origin in brain functions, this mystery is still under debate. Recently, one of our papers has been

Vloeiend leren lezen en schrijven lijkt voor veel mensen vanzelfsprekend. Maar dat is het eigenlijk niet. Zeker niet voor mensen met dyslexie. In het college Hoe onstaat dyslexie? van de Universiteit van Nederland legt Milene Bonte uit waarom.

Check out our new review article summarising how learning to read changes the way our brains respond to speech and text and reorganises the way different brain areas communicate to one another. In this article we give an overview of the brain and behavioural changes that evolve during reading acquisition and provide suggestions for future studies.

We recently published an fMRI paper from the Leeswisnt project exploring changes in brain activation during letter-speech mapping over a three year period in children without dyslexia. Our findings show that reading development is characterized by dynamic changes in auditory as well as visual brain areas, and highlight the specific changes to our understanding and

We recently published the first fMRI findings of Project Leeswinst data showing brain activation differences in children with and without dyslexia while performing the ‘aba’ ‘ada’ task in the MRI scanner. We show that behaviourally, all children perform the task similarly but that there is a difference in brain activation, with children with dyslexia
