Attempts to solve the mysteries of neurocognitive developmental disorders have increasingly concentrated on brain-related research. In addition to a substantial growth in functional brain imaging studies, behavioral genetic and psychophysical studies have uncovered a variety of brain-related differences between children with a developmental disorder, such as dyslexia and typical age-mates.
