Patterns of Neural Functional Connectivity in Infants at Familial Risk of Developmental Dyslexia.

ABSTRACT:

Importance

Developmental dyslexia is a heritable learning disability affecting 7% to 10% of the general population and can have detrimental impacts on mental health and vocational potential. Individuals with dyslexia show altered functional organization of the language and reading neural networks; however, it remains unknown how early in life these neural network alterations might emerge.

Objective

To determine whether the early emergence of large-scale neural functional connectivity (FC) underlying long-term language and reading development is altered in infants with a familial history of dyslexia (FHD).

Design, setting, and participants

This cohort study included infants recruited at Boston Children's Hospital between May 2011 and February 2019. Participants underwe
