SUMMARY:Testing the neural noise hypothesis of dyslexia
DESCRIPTION:Dyslexia is a specific learning disorder affecting approximately 7–12% of the population and is more commonly diagnosed in males than in females. While several cognitive and neural factors associated with dyslexia have been identified\, the precise causal mechanisms underlying reading difficulties remain unclear. One recent account\, the neural noise hypothesis (Hancock et al.\, 2017)\, proposes that reading difficulties arise from an imbalance between excitatory and inhibitory (E/I) processes (increased cortical excitability) leading to impairments in phonological awareness\, rapid automatized naming\, and multisensory integration. \nI will present our studies which tested key predictions of this hypothesis. First\, we examined whether low-level multisensory integration contributes to dyslexia and whether this effect is sex-specific. Next\, we directly tested the neural noise hypothesis using electroencephalography (EEG) power spectrum measures and concentrations of Glutamate (Glu) and GABA obtained with magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) at 7T. \nOnly males with dyslexia exhibited deficits in multisensory integration of simple\, non-linguistic stimuli\, as assessed by a reaction time task. However\, EEG and MRS results\, supported by Bayesian analyses\, provided no evidence for differences in E/I balance between groups\, challenging the hypothesis that cortical hyperexcitability underlies dyslexia. \n  \n  \nBio \nKatarzyna Jednoróg is a professor of cognitive neuroscience and head of the Laboratory of Language Neurobiology at the Nencki Institute of Experimental Biology\, Polish Academy of Sciences in Warsaw. Her research focuses on the neurobiological basis of language and reading development in both typical and atypical populations\, with a particular emphasis on developmental dyslexia. She investigates how brain structure and function support literacy acquisition\, using non-invasive neuroimaging methods such as EEG\, fMRI\, and magnetic resonance spectroscopy. \n \n

SUMMARY:Integrating Neural Noise and Neuroinflammatory Hypotheses: Exploring the Comorbidity of Dyslexia\, Depression\, and Stress
DESCRIPTION:Fumiko Hoeft \nRecent advancements in our understanding of dyslexia have highlighted the complex interplay between neurobiological mechanisms and comorbid conditions such as depression and stress. The Neural Noise Hypothesis (NNH) of dyslexia proposes that dysregulated neural activity\, characterized by excessive glutamatergic neurotransmission\, leads to the disrupted auditory and visual processing that typifies this learning disorder. Concurrently\, emerging research suggests that these neural irregularities may overlap with pathways involved in stress and depression\, pointing to a shared neurobiological foundation. This presentation explores the synthesis of the NNH with recent findings on the role of neuroinflammation in dyslexia and its comorbidities. Building on our foundational work (Hancock\, Pugh\, and Hoeft\, TiCS. 2017)\, and integrating recent insights into stress and mood disorders from neuroimaging studies\, we propose a model where dyslexia-related neural noise may exacerbate susceptibility to depression through neuroinflammatory pathways. This model is supported by recent research by Lasnick and Hoeft (Front Hum Neurosci. 2023)\, which provides compelling evidence of altered neural connectivity in regions critical for emotional and stress regulation in individuals with dyslexia. Furthermore\, this talk will delve into how environmental stressors and individual resilience factors contribute to the variability in dyslexia presentations\, particularly focusing on how these elements interact with neurobiological mechanisms to influence the severity and range of comorbid symptoms. By bridging gaps between disparate research domains\, we aim to foster a more comprehensive understanding of dyslexia that acknowledges its potential as a multisystem disorder with significant neurobiological and psychosocial dimensions. This integrated approach sets the stage for discussing potential interventions that target these overlapping pathways\, offering hope for more effective treatments that address both the core symptoms of dyslexia and its common comorbidities. \n
