In this enlightening and thought-provoking work, Dr. Harold Levinson details the clinically-based research efforts leading him to, and significantly beyond, his findings in A Solution to the Riddle — Dyslexia. At its core, this work provides readers with the first and only comprehensive portrait of the dyslexic syndrome and its determining cerebellar-vestibular (CV) mechanisms, along with new, highly successful methods of medical screening, diagnosis, treatment and prevention.
While investigating the neurophysiological presence of higher cerebellar cognitive and affective functioning and dysfunctioning, Dr. Levinson was led to a series of unexpected discoveries. Thus, for example, he uncovered that attention deficit, anxiety, and a host of other disorders were part-and-parcel of the CV-dyslexia syndrome and that a series of major CNS impairments (i.e., mental retardation, Down's syndrome, cerebral palsy, autism, etc.) often shared a treatable CV dysfunctioning dyslexic vector. Recognizing that CV-determined dyslexic reading errors and mechanisms are similar to the unconscious mechanisms shaping dreams and that severe denial characterized both cerebellar and Freudian insights, Dr. Levinson postulated that the cerebellum might play an important role in modulating unconscious mental functioning. Ultimately, he was led to formulate an amazing theory of mind and mental functioning that is equally compatible with both science and religious philosophies.
Although supported by such outstanding cerebellar neuroscientists as Nobel Laureate Sir John Eccles, A Solution to the Riddle — Dyslexia (1980) was considered controversial by all traditionally-minded dyslexia experts since it completely refuted their century-old cerebral cortical concepts of the disorder. With recent independent validation of Dr. Levinson's research and the rediscovery of a cerebellar role in dyslexia, this re-titled text is now considered "pioneering," "brilliant," "breakthrough," and a "reading must" for all neuroscientists and related clinicians. Hopefully, Dr. Levinson's concluding poem will best convey the depth and scope of this "scientific hallmark" and why it is viewed as "decades ahead of its time — a new millennium work."
God is cosmic and organismic mind,
Mind is an electromagnetic computer field,
Matter is energy transformed,
Earth is a speck in the cosmos,
Man is a cell in the dust,
Science is an electron in search of its orbit,
Theory is one of many orbits,
Fact is fiction in perspective,
The End is just a new beginning...
