• Testing the neural noise hypothesis of dyslexia

    Salle des voûtes, St Charles 3 place Victor Hugo, Marseille, France

    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 […]

  • Integrating Neural Noise and Neuroinflammatory Hypotheses: Exploring the Comorbidity of Dyslexia, Depression, and Stress

    Fumiko Hoeft Recent 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. […]
