Background: In this case series, functional magnetic resonance imaging was used to
examine brain networks that mediate different aspects of language function in 4 young …

Brain plasticity has often been quoted as a reason for the more favorable outcome in
childhood stroke compared to adult stroke. We investigated the relationship between …

Purpose: To determine how age at the time of left middle cerebral artery stroke affects
language lateralization in a combined sample of subjects with perinatal, childhood, and …

OBJECTIVE: Functional MRI was used to determine differences in patterns of cortical
activation between children who suffered perinatal left middle cerebral artery (MCA) stroke …

Plasticity of language function after brain damage can depend on maturation of the brain.
Children with left-hemisphere perinatal (n= 7) or childhood stroke (n= 5) and 12 controls …

We used verb generation and story listening tasks during fMRI to study language
organization in children (7, 9 and 12 years old) with perinatal left MCA infarctions. Healthy …

A predominant theory regarding early stroke and its effect on language development, is that
early left hemisphere lesions trigger compensatory processes that allow the right …

Brain imaging methods have contributed to shed light on the mechanisms of recovery after
early brain insult. The assumption that the unaffected right hemisphere can take over …

Perinatal stroke affects child's language development and can change language
lateralization. Language generation and comprehension tasks in functional magnetic …

The mature human brain is lateralized for language, with the left hemisphere (LH) primarily
responsible for sentence processing and the right hemisphere (RH) primarily responsible for …
