Advances in Dyslexia and Language Disorders

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue focuses on dyslexia and other forms of language disorder. We invite papers that examine all the different levels of analysis, from genetics and epigenetics to behavioral studies. We are also interested in neuroimaging, electrophysiological, and cognitive approaches to understanding the brain structure and function of individuals with different disorders that affect language comprehension, language production, and socio-pragmatic competence. We also welcome papers that focus on connecting different inter-disciplinary methodologies and approaches with a view toward linking neurological and cognitive phenotypes to more applied areas of understanding these disorders (e.g., transdiagnostic issues with comorbidities, differential targeting of interventions, or supporting functioning in everyday life).
