Summary

This study measured levels of certain brain chemicals (glutamate, nitric oxide, and L-arginine) in the blood of 40 children—some with Specific Learning Disorder and some without. Researchers also gave cognitive tests to see if chemical levels relate to learning and thinking skills. The goal was to better understand the biology behind learning disorders, not to test a treatment.
