Dyslexia and Genetics by Silvia Paracchini

Posted: 27 Sep 2011
Dr Silvia Paracchini talks about the influence of Genetics in Dyslexia. Dr Silvia Paracchini aims to indentify the genetic components of dyslexia and understand the underlying biology. Other disorders such as Specific Language Impairment or Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder are commonly linked to dyslexia. Dr Paracchini is looking for possible common genes for these clinically distinct disorders. Her research has the potential to uncover some of the biological mechanisms involved in human cognition.
