Topics include:
"DYSLEXIC BRAINS ARE WIRED
DIFFERENTLY" AND MORE.


1.    The Feb 2002 Neuroreport -Differences in children’s brain activity offer clues to causes of dyslexia.
The researchers used fMRI to scan the brains  of children suffering from dyslexia.
 “Approximately 5% of the population --have a  biological disruption in how their brains are wired for language and reading. Their brains are not set up to deal with the sounds of words correctly, so that they can’t easy match the sight of the letter with the corresponding sound.”
 In some cases there is a small time lag and in  other cases the there is great difficulty making  the match between a letter and its designated sound.
Notes:
i.  Remember,  written language is an arbitrary convention.  What passes for sounds and sights  in English does not necessarily equate to the sounds and sights in another language even  though the alphabet may be the same.

ii. Also remember that there is no correlation between dyslexia and intelligence. Intelligence  is entirely another matter.

2.    The Ewing Marion Foundation reports that Social Growth is key to early learning. While current early years preparation work dwells on numbers, colours and the alphabet, it was  found that social and emotional school readiness was an even more important element of readiness.

3.     Middle Aged Brains.  A study of middle aged  mice who were introduced to “enriched housing” -- cages filled with running wheels, tunnels, toys and choices of food. After ten months these mice  were compared to mice living dull more sedentary  lives.  The Club Med mice had 5 times the number of new brain cells while the couch potato mice had twice as many age related deposits in their cells.   (Use it or lose it!)

4.      Need ideas for Birthday Gifts for Children!
 Here's a few Brain Facts ideas for gifts.  Select gifts that involve creativity.  Small children need toys and books which
 are attractive from a colour and shape perspective.  These toys should have multiple uses.

ii.  Select gifts which require the receiver  to move around and employ lots of hand eye coordination and large muscle movement.

iii. Select gifts that will challenge the receiver to “think”.  Brain exercise is good.

iv. For the slightly older recipient give  memberships to clubs or other organizations where will be human interaction and
 challenging, yet enjoyable mental and physical  activities.

Note (For small children, buy gifts which come in big boxes, throw the gift away and give the child the box.)

5.        Dr. F Xavier Castellanos and other researchers at the National Institute of Mental Health studied the size of the
brains of unmedicated children with  ADHD and found that the cerebral cortex was approximately 3% smaller than non ADHD children.  In addition there  was a high level of correlation between these brains and the brains of the children’s parents.  The implication being that ADHD is a real brain abnormality and that there is a genetic connection.
