36 Study of the prevalence of autistic traits and alexithymia, with associated psychiatric comorbidity, in an outpatient program of patients with functional neurological symptom disorder (FNSD)
Conclusion Whilst higher rates of neurodevelopmental disorders have previously been reported in FNSD, we report new evidence for a high proportion of autistic traits and further evidence of a high prevalence of alexithymia in a group of adults with FNSD.1–10 Mechanistic insights are limited however autistic traits may be associated with FNSD due to altered sensitivity to sensory data, as well as cognitive or affective biases, or increased susceptibility to panic. There may be an additional contribution from psychosocial stressors. Clinically, the AQ-10 and TAS-20 may be important tools in the management of FNSD, and ...

7.4 Neurobiology of Communication Disorders: The State of the Science and New Insights from Social EEG
This session focuses on the current knowledge base and remaining questions regarding the neurobiological basis of communication disorders. Three high-incidence communication disorders that frequently co-occur with mental health problems are the focus: ASD, developmental language disorder (DLD), and dyslexia. The field has focused on neuropsychological data that have been investigated across neurodevelopmental disorders with limited gains to guide clinical care. Upon session completion, participants will be able to: 1) explain the state of the field and remaining questions regarding the neurobiological basis of communicatio...

Entropy in Cardiac Autonomic Nervous System of Adolescents with General Learning Disabilities or Dyslexia
Adv Exp Med Biol. 2021;1339:121-129. doi: 10.1007/978-3-030-78787-5_17.ABSTRACTHeart rate variability (HRV) represents one of the two key markers of the autonomic nervous system. It is measured by the time variation in the beat-to-beat interval, while the period between successive beats is defined as the RR interval (RRI). Its components are classified as linear and non-linear. In the field of psychophysiology, HRV is investigated as a key player of possible predictive or diagnostic value. Female adolescents with general learning disabilities or dyslexia were recruited at the Center for Adolescent Medicine and UNESCO Chair...

5.15 is sluggish cognitive tempo a clinical feature of adhd and dyslexia: a systematic review and meta-analysis
Research suggests that both sluggish cognitive tempo (SCT) and slow processing speed may be characteristics of ADHD, which has 3 subtypes currently recognized by the DSM-5: ADHD-Inattentive, ADHD-Hyperactive/Impulsive, and ADHD-Combined. SCT and slow processing speed may also be features of dyslexia. We conducted a systematic review to identify and evaluate all prior studies examining the relation of SCT to ADHD and dyslexia. Our goals were to: 1) determine whether SCT is more common in ADHD —including its 3 subtypes—than the general population; 2) clarify the distinction between SCT and slow processing speed; and 3) d...

Supporting our reps and members online
Online training and support for activists UNISON is setting up an online system to continue key training for activist during the current crisis caused by the coronavirus pandemic, when we have had to postpone all face-to-face training and learning opportunities for members. In the meantime, we have quadrupled the capacity of our online couse for new stewards. There are now 100 places available – click on the link below to find out how to register. Our online new stewards’ course is supported by both a TUC tutor and a UNISON learning and organising staff member. We will be there to support you, especially if you&...

Reading Acquisition in Children: Developmental Processes and Dyslexia Specific Effects
Reduced activation to print in the left ventral, dorsal and anterior pathways has been implicated in readers with dyslexia (DR) but is also characteristic for typical beginning readers. As the majority of studies compared DR to their age-matched peers, the observed results could either represent a dyslexia phenotype or a developmental delay. We aimed to disentangle reading and dyslexia effects by employing two control groups: age and skill matched, and a longitudinal design.

Science and Culture: Musicians join scientists to explore data through sound Earth, Atmospheric, and Planetary Sciences
Composer Margaret Schedel grew up with a mathematically minded father who had a fondness for flow charts. “He’d say, ‘You can’t remember how to do the laundry? Make a flow chart!’” Schedel recalls. Like her father, Schedel was fascinated by computer science, but her dyslexia made programming challenging. “I think...

A vision of graded hemispheric specialization
Understanding the process by which the cerebral hemispheres reach their mature functional organization remains challenging. We propose a theoretical account in which, in the domain of vision, faces and words come to be represented adjacent to retinotopic cortex by virtue of the need to discriminate among homogeneous exemplars. Orthographic representations are further constrained to be proximal to typically left‐lateralized language‐related information to minimize connectivity length between visual and language areas. As reading is acquired, orthography comes to rely more heavily (albeit not exclusively) on the left fus...

Short‐ and long‐term rhythmic interventions: perspectives for language rehabilitation
We present data testing the hypothesis that temporal attention can be influenced by external rhythmic auditory stimulation (i.e., musical rhythm) and benefits subsequent language processing, including syntax processing and speech production. We also present data testing the hypothesis that phonological awareness can be influenced by several months of musical training and, more particularly, rhythmic training, which in turn improves reading skills. Together, our data support the hypothesis of a causal role of rhythm‐based processing for language processing and acquisition. These results open new avenues for music‐based ...
