Neuroscience and education: Cerebral lateralization of networks and oscillations in dyslexia.

Laterality 2019 April 16
Liaison between neuroscience and education has resulted in significant advances in our understanding of the neurobiological learning requirements of individuals with reading disability, the neuroplasticity of the developing brain, and the participation of the right hemisphere in reading. Research in neural network theory and cortical oscillations suggests that the hemispheres collaborate in high-level language processes. The right hemisphere specializes in coding low frequencies of the speech envelope and interhemispheric cognitive control, while the left is specialized for local high frequency, verbal computations. Studies in neural networks, and cortical oscillations which controlled for reading-level, converge in identifying an impaired right hemisphere circuitry of frontoparietal attention networks as a primary cause of dyslexia. Occurring in early development, such a dysfunction would have a cascading negative effect on phonemic processing in the left hemisphere dorsal reading network. Such integrative hemispheric cooperation suggests a more comprehensive approach to early reading instruction and interventions in dyslexia.
