Case report: Neural timing deficits prevalent in developmental disorders, aging, and concussions remediated rapidly by movement discrimination exercises

Background The substantial evidence that neural timing deficits are prevalent in developmental disorders, aging, and concussions resulting from a Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) is presented. Objective When these remediated using low-level movement-discrimination training, then high-level cognitive skills, including reading, attention, processing speed, problem solving, working memory improve rapidly effectively. Methods In addition to the published previously, new based on correlate, MagnetoEncephalography physiological recordings, an adult dyslexic, neuropsychological tests this dyslexic subject older were measured before after 8-weeks of contrast sensitivity-based left–right exercises completed. Results found large improvements selective sustained memory, problem-solving never such short period training. Moreover, 4 years later for adult. Substantial MEG signal increases visual Motion, Attention, Memory/Executive Control Networks observed following training movement-discrimination. Improving function magnocells figure/ground at both low high levels dorsal stream: (1) improved feedforward feedback pathways modulate attention by enhancing coupled theta/gamma alpha/gamma oscillations, (2) adaptive, (3) incorporated cycles reward multiple levels. Conclusion What emerges studies essential role stream disorders like dyslexia, TBI. Training significantly functions, auditory reading fluency. A paradigm shift treating impairments crucial. Remediating pathways, thereby improving specific skills provides most rapid effective methods skills. adaptive with shows transfer tasks not trained on, person’s quality life
