Deep dysgraphic patients make semantic errors when writing to dictation and they cannot write nonwords. Extant reports of deep dysgraphia come from languages with relatively opaque orthographies. Turkish is a transparent orthography because the bidirectional mappings between phonology and orthography are completely predictable. We report BRB, a biscriptal Turkish-English speaker who has acquired dysgraphia characterised by semantic errors as well as effects of grammatical class and imageability on writing in Turkish. Nonword spelling is abolished. A similar pattern of errors is observed in English. BRB is the first report of acquired dysgraphia in a truly transparent writing system. We argue that deep dysgraphia results from damage to the mappings that are common to both languages between word meanings and orthographic representations.

Delayed Deep White Matter Ischemia After Resection of Gliomas by Awake Surgery.

Background And Objectives: Deep white matter (DWM) is perfused by the medullary arteries from the cortex, and ischemia sometimes occurs after glioma resection. However, the clinical significance of postoperative medullary artery-related ischemia has not been well studied. We retrospectively reviewed cases of delayed DWM ischemia after awake craniotomy to elucidate the clinical characteristics, mechanisms, and management of delayed ischemia.

Background: Learning disabilities, categorized as neurodevelopmental disorders, profoundly impact the cognitive development of young children. These disabilities affect text comprehension, reading, writing and problem-solving abilities. Specific learning disabilities (SLDs), most notably dyslexia and dysgraphia, can significantly hinder students' academic achievement.

Gerstmann syndrome, characterized by a tetrad of symptoms, which are agraphia, acalculia, left-right disorientation, and finger agnosia, presents challenges in both understanding its pathophysiology and establishing effective treatment modalities. Neuroanatomical studies have highlighted the involvement of the dominant parietal lobe, particularly the inferior parietal lobule, in the development of Gerstmann syndrome. Although current treatment options are largely supportive, recent research suggests a potential role for deep brain stimulation (DBS) in managing this condition.

Article Synopsis
- * Previous studies on dysgraphia detection have relied on classical machine learning methods with manual feature extraction, focusing only on binary outcomes (dysgraphia vs. no dysgraphia).
- * This study used deep learning to predict handwriting capabilities more precisely by scoring on a scale of 0 to 12, achieving high accuracy with automated feature extraction using a SensoGrip smart pen for realistic handwriting evaluation.

Dysgraphia is a neurodevelopmental disorder specific to handwriting. Classical diagnosis is based on the evaluation of speed and quality of the final handwritten text: it is therefore delayed as it is conducted only when handwriting is mastered, in addition to being highly language-dependent and not always easily accessible. This work presents a solution able to anticipate dysgraphia screening when handwriting has not been learned yet, in order to prevent negative consequences on the individuals' academic and daily life.
