Reading Disorder
Dyslexia is a learning disorder that involves difficulty reading due to problems identifying speech sounds and learning how they relate to letters and words (decoding). Also called reading disability, dyslexia affects areas of the brain that process language.
Cluster Number:
Wiki Number: PW182
Diagnosis: Reading Disorder
US Patients: 5-17% of the population
World Patients:
Sex Ratio:
Age Onset:
Brain Area:
Symptoms: Reading disorder breaks down into alexia (acquired dyslexia), developmental dislexia, and hyperlexia (way above average reading)
Progression: Dyslexia includes phonological (difficulty with processing sounds), rapid visual-verbal responding, and spelling.
Causes: Intelligence of dyslexics is normal, not less. Problems can be genetic. Verbal memory may also be slower.
Medications: None listed.//Dyslexia has three cognitive subtypes:auditory, visual and attentive)
Therapies: None listed, but reading specialists and local groups that tutor children, like “Raising Readers.”

- Complex Trauma and Mentalizing Ability in College Students With or Without Borderline Personality Disorder: A Mixed Method Approachby Ishita Lamba on November 20, 2024
CONCLUSION: Although participants with BPD experienced higher complex trauma, they also had better mentalizing capacities.
- Validation of the Cognitive Assessment Instrument for Obsessions and Compulsions (CAIOC-13) in an Indian Sampleby Mahashweta Bhattacharya on November 20, 2024
CONCLUSION: CAIOC-13 is a valid tool for briefly assessing OCD-related cognitive dysfunction in Indian samples. Future studies may examine the correlation of CAIOC-13 with standardized neuropsychological assessments.
- Lived Experiences of Primary Caregivers of Children with Dyslexia: A Phenomenological Studyby Nadhee Peries on November 20, 2024
CONCLUSIONS: Caregivers and families of children with learning disabilities demand more attention to improve their mental health and family harmony, which in turn improves children's educational and health status. Sri Lankan health, educational, and social services should be optimized to reach the families of children with dyslexia-type difficulties.
- Distinct connectivity patterns between perception and attention-related brain networks characterize dyslexia: Machine learning applied to resting-state fMRIby Nikolay Taran on November 20, 2024
Diagnosis of dyslexia often occurs in late schooling years, leading to academic and psychological challenges. Furthermore, diagnosis is time-consuming, costly, and reliant on arbitrary cutoffs. On the other hand, automated algorithms hold great potential in medical and psychological diagnostics. The aim of the present study was to develop a machine learning tool for the detection of dyslexia in children based on the intrinsic connectivity patterns of different brain networks underlying...
