“…Accumulating evidence indicates that dysfunction of the auditory brainstem, including the SOC, contributes to auditory processing disorders and developmental learning disabilities, such as dyslexia and autism spectrum disorders (4). Insight into the genetic causes of these disorders requires knowledge of the molecular repertoire underlying the developmental processes in the auditory brainstem.…”

Background:The superior olivary complex (SOC) is an essential center for spatial hearing. Results: Generation of a comprehensive qualitative and quantitative catalogue of the developmental changes in the SOC-related gene repertoire. Conclusion: Postnatal maturation of the SOC is shaped by extensive molecular changes. Significance: This work identifies strong candidate genes for normal and impaired hearing and genetic evidence for retrocochlear functions of deafness genes.

“…Indeed, altered structure or function in the auditory hindbrain have been linked in humans to autism spectrum disorders (Kulesza et al 2011) and dyslexia (Hornickel et al 2012). Dysfunction of the auditory hindbrain is also thought to contribute considerably to auditory processing disorders (Tallal 2012;Chermak and Musiek 1997). Since most neuronal disorders are rooted in aberrant developmental processes, insights into the genetic, molecular and cellular mechanisms of these processes will advance basic and clinical research alike.…”

A defining feature of the mammalian auditory system is the extensive processing of sound information in numerous ultrafast and temporally precise circuits in the hindbrain. By exploiting the experimental advantages of mouse genetics, recent years have witnessed an impressive advance in our understanding of developmental mechanisms involved in the formation and refinement of these circuits. Here, we will summarize the progress made in four major fields: the dissection of the rhombomeric origins of auditory hindbrain nuclei; the molecular repertoire involved in circuit formation such as Hox transcription factors and the Eph-ephrin signaling system; the timeline of functional circuit assembly; and the critical role of spontaneous activity for circuit refinement. In total, this information provides a solid framework for further exploration of the factors shaping auditory hindbrain circuits and their specializations. A comprehensive understanding of the developmental pathways and instructive factors will also offer important clues to the causes and consequences of hearing-loss related disorders, which represent the most common sensory impairment in humans.

“…In the teaching of reading skill, the use of phonics approach in teaching reading skill is not a recent trend too. Since nineteenth century, phonics instruction in the teaching of reading had emerged followed by numerous researches which had discovered its effectiveness in teaching pupils to read until today (Chall, 1967;NICHD, 2000;Stahl, 2001;Tallal, 2012;Prasad, Nooreiny & Hamidah, 2016). Through phonics approach, pupils will be exposed to the letter-sound correspondence whereby they learn the relationship between letters and sounds.…”

Reading skill is an essential skill that is taught in every language subject in schools. Its importance is irrefutable as it relates closely to the pupils' academic and future success. Today, many Malaysian pupils are still struggling hard to read with fluency and understanding. It is noticed that educators in schools have been giving limited attention on reading fluency since reading comprehension is the ultimate goal in reading development. Researches show that mastery of reading fluency is required for comprehension to take place subsequently. Therefore, this action research aims to examine the effectiveness of synthetic phonics in developing the reading fluency of the Year 2 intermediate pupils in a sub-urban school in Dalat, Sarawak and their perception towards the intervention. Six pupils were involved in this research. Data were collected through pre-post-tests, classroom observation and structured interviews. Paired T-tests were conducted to determine the significant difference between pre-test and post-test scores of ORF assessments which were analysed in mean, standard deviation and p-value whereas classroom observation and structured interviews were analysed through content analysis. The findings indicated that pupils had improved in their reading fluency after the intervention and had positive perceptions towards the intervention. For further research, more sampling is recommended to generalise the findings.
