It grew out of a Rodin Remediation Foundation International  conference held on this topic in Boulder, Colorado in 1990, which  included most of the world's experts on the genetics and neurology of  dyslexia. Ten years ago a volume on this topic would scarcely been  possible, and now we have an emerging, comprehensive neuroscientific  understanding of this complex behavioral disorder that goes from genes  to brain to behavior. Building on recent advances in the understanding  of the cognitive phenotype of dyslexia, these authors present new data  on both the etiology and brain mechanisms underlying that phenotype.  Reading disability or dyslexia has a high familial recurrence rate,  and is partly heritable. Genetic linkage studies are beginning to  identify the possible locations of genes influencing this phenotype.  On the neurological side, several independent studies have found  neuroanatomical differences in the dyslexic brain, which are due to  early changes in brain development. Thus, contrary to the views held  by some educators that dyslexia is a myth, the results presented in  this book firmly establish dyslexia as a real, biological condition.  \u003cbr\u003e  This book is relevant to researchers and practitioners concerned with  both normal and abnormal reading development. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 1992-01-31\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9780792316060\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-94-011-2450-8\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 253\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer Netherlands","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46311978991756,"sku":"9780792316060","price":152.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9780792316060.jpg?v=1771515560","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9780792316060","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
