"Neurological origins of language learning impairment and dyslexia" 
Mike Merzenich

    Studies conducted primarily over the past decade have revealed the
likely neurological origins of the most common forms of language learning
impairments, and of the most common forms of reading impairments. That
understanding has led to new treatment strategies for their amelioration.
The application of those strategies has now been demonstrated to result in
a substantial re-normalization, documented both behaviorally and by fMRI
and MSI recording, in language impaired and dyslexic children. Closely
related studies also provide new insights into the origins of -- and the
potentially more effective treatment of -- the more severe language
deficits recorded in pervasively developmentally disordered children.
