%X the scientific effervescence that reigns around developmental dyslexia is explained by the difficult challenge that consists of ascribing this handicap to a single cause whilst multiple profiles of dyslexic patients can be observed. in this chapter, we start by presenting the main neuro-cognitive hypotheses that aim to explain dyslexia. we then review the multidimensional nature of dyslexia, and discuss the necessity of using a common diagnostic criteria to improve our understanding of its true nature. we then conclude by presenting promising work connecting cerebral endophenotypes and behavioral phenotypes highlighting the need for a multi-factorial rather than mono-theoretical account of developmental dyslexia.
