A fundamental deficit in the synchronization of neural oscillations to temporal information in speech could underlie phonological processing problems in dyslexia. In this study, the hypothesis of a neural synchronization impairment is investigated more specifically as a function of different neural oscillatory bands and temporal information rates in speech. Auditory steady-state responses to 4, 10, 20 and 40Hz modulations were recorded in normal reading and dyslexic adolescents to measure neural synchronization of theta, alpha, beta and low-gamma oscillations to syllabic and phonemic rate information. In comparison to normal readers, dyslexic readers showed reduced non-synchronized theta activity, reduced synchronized alpha activity and enhanced synchronized beta activity. Positive correlations between alpha synchronization and phonological skills were found in normal readers, but were absent in dyslexic readers. In contrast, dyslexic readers exhibited positive correlations between beta synchronization and phonological skills. Together, these results suggest that auditory neural synchronization of alpha and beta oscillations is atypical in dyslexia, indicating deviant neural processing of both syllabic and phonemic rate information. Impaired synchronization of alpha oscillations in particular demonstrated to be the most prominent neural anomaly possibly hampering speech and phonological processing in dyslexic readers.
神经振荡与言语中的时间信息同步方面的根本缺陷可能是诵读困难症语音处理问题的潜在原因。在本研究中,更具体地研究了神经同步受损这一假设,它是言语中不同神经振荡频段和时间信息速率的函数。记录了正常阅读者和诵读困难青少年对4、10、20和40赫兹调制的听觉稳态反应,以测量θ、α、β和低γ振荡与音节和音素速率信息的神经同步。与正常阅读者相比,诵读困难阅读者表现出非同步θ活动减少、同步α活动减少和同步β活动增强。在正常阅读者中发现α同步与语音技能之间存在正相关,但在诵读困难阅读者中不存在。相反,诵读困难阅读者在β同步与语音技能之间表现出正相关。总之,这些结果表明,诵读困难症患者的α和β振荡的听觉神经同步是不典型的,这表明音节和音素速率信息的神经处理存在偏差。特别是α振荡的同步受损被证明是最突出的神经异常,可能会妨碍诵读困难阅读者的言语和语音处理。
