Cognitive neuroscience, primarily through neuroimaging, has revealed brain differences associated with dyslexia, and brain plasticity associated with supportive instruction. Use-inspired cognitive neuroscience aims to discover the brain bases of dyslexia in relation to challenges faced by individuals with dyslexia, their families, and their teachers. Dr. Gabrieli will review neuroimaging research that addresses issues of early identification and diagnosis, prognosis, and variation in response to supportive instruction.
