  Cerebro-cerebellar networks facilitate learning through feedback decoupling

  Behavioral feedback is critical for learning, but it is often not available. Here, the authors introduce a deep learning model in which the cerebellum provides the cerebrum with feedback predictions, thereby facilitating learning, reducing dysmetria, and making several experimental predictions.

  Rapid and widespread white matter plasticity during an intensive reading intervention

  White matter properties correlate with cognitive performance in a number of domains. Here the authors show that altering a child’s educational environment though a targeted intervention program induces rapid, large-scale changes in the white matter, and that these changes track the learning process.

  Enhanced reading by training with imposed time constraint in typical and dyslexic adults

  Slow and careful reading is encouraged to improve word decoding accuracy. Breznitz and colleagues show that a few weeks of training in accelerated reading can improve reading, for several months, in typical and dyslexic adults.
