Effective inclusion practices for neurodiverse children and adolescents in informal STEM learning: a systematic review protocol
DiscussionThe synthesis of the findings resulting from various research and evaluation designs, across the K-12 age span, and across various informal STEM learning contexts, will lead to depth and breadth of understanding of ways to improve informal STEM learning programs for neurodiverse children and youth. The identification of informal STEM learning program components and contexts shown to yield positive results will provide specific recommendations for improving inclusiveness, accessibility, and STEM learning for neurodiverse children and youth.Trial registrationThe current study has been registered in PROSPERO. Regist...

Eye movements of those with dyslexia reveal laborious and inefficient reading strategies
(Concordia University) A new paper written by Concordia researchers published in the Nature journal Scientific Reports used eye-tracking technology to record eye movements of readers and concluded that people with dyslexia have a profoundly different and much more difficult way of sampling visual information than normal readers.

Difficulty learning nonsense words may indicate a child's high risk of dyslexia
(Aalto University) A combined brain-scanning and behaviour study in Finland has explored dyslexia in 7& 8-year-old children learning how to read. Dyslexic youngsters were shown to have different activation in the left hemisphere compared to the control group - the area of the brain that specializes in processing language and speech. A related study by the group also found that self-confidence in reading ability helps young readers overcome some of the symptoms of dyslexia

Brain metastasis from extramammary Paget's disease.
Authors: Hanyu T, Fujitani S, Ito A, Mizutani N
Abstract
Herein, we present a case of extramammary Paget's disease with brain metastasis that was diagnosed pathologically for the first time in Japan. Moreover, invasive extramammary Paget's disease (with distant metastasis) highly resistant to treatment. Only for brain metastasis, we may control the tumor by surgical resection and stereotactic radiosurgery (SRT) for the treatment of intracranial metastases was assessed. An 76-year-old man was diagnosed with extramammary Paget's disease of the vulva at nearby hospital. Surgical resection and sentinel lymph node disse...

Improving health care autonomy for young adults with autism
(University of Missouri-Columbia) Independence has always been a driving force in Nancy Cheak-Zamora's life. Now an associate professor at the University of Missouri School of Health Professions, she grew up undiagnosed with dyslexia, a learning disorder that can lead to difficulty reading.

Brain stimulation reduces dyslexia deficits
(Universit é de Gen è ve) Dyslexia is a frequent disorder of reading acquisition that affects up to 10% of the population. Although several possible causes have been proposed for dyslexia, the predominant one is a phonological deficit associated with changes in rhythmic or repetitive patterns of neural activity in a sound-processing region of the brain. Neuroscientists from the University of Geneva have demonstrated a causal relationship between brain oscillations and the ability to process phonemes.

Variability in natural speech is challenging for the dyslexic brain
(University of Helsinki) A new study brings neural-level evidence that the continuous variation in natural speech makes the discrimination of phonemes challenging for adults suffering from developmental reading-deficit dyslexia.

Better read it to me: benefits of audio versions of variable message signs in drivers with dyslexia - Tejero P, Pi-Ruano M, Roca J.
Adults with dyslexia may find difficulties in reading the messages on variable message signs (VMS) while driving. These signs are an essential part of the traffic communication systems, aimed at informing road users of special circumstances, such as conges...

Neuroscientists at TU Dresden discover neural mechanisms of developmental dyslexia
(Technische Universit ä t Dresden) Neuroscientist Professor Katharina von Kriegstein from TU Dresden and an international team of experts show in a recently published study that people with dyslexia have a weakly developed structure that is not located in the cerebral cortex, but at a subcortical processing stage; namely the white matter connectivity between the left auditory motion-sensitive planum temporale (mPT) and the left auditory thalamus (medial geniculate body, MGB).

Diving deeper into developmental dyslexia
(Society for Neuroscience) Men with dyslexia have altered structural connections between the thalamus and auditory cortex on the left side of the brain, new research published in JNeurosci reveals. The study extends similar observations of the dyslexic visual system and highlights the importance of early sensory processing for reading proficiency.

Consistency in core language skill stable in typically and atypically developing children
(American Association for the Advancement of Science) In a 15-year study of thousands of children, including those with dyslexia and autism spectrum disorders, researchers discovered that a so-called core language skill, as identified here, was stable from infancy to adolescence. These findings affirm that when a child's language skills are lagging, early intervention is best. As an infant, grasping a language is one
