Early childhood is an incredibly important period of development for the nervous system,
consisting of numerous adaptive, sensitive changes. Modern neuroimaging has improved …

This dataset examines language development with a longitudinal design and includes
diffusion-and T1-weighted structural magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), task-based …

Neurocognitive functions supporting language development start to develop well before first
words are spoken during the first years of life. This process coincides with the initial growth …

Language is part of our biological heritage, an achievement that is no doubt dependent
upon the unique characteristics of the human brain. By studying the neural basis of …

The identification of unique neural features that might predict language development is not
only of scientific interest to explain the cognitive success of the human species, but also of …

Abstract Purpose The National Institutes of Health announced the Healthy Brain and Child
Development (HBCD) study to further understanding of infant brain development. This study …

Aims: This thesis sets out to assess the long-term speech, language and intellectual abilities
of children born very prematurely (less than 33 weeks' gestational age)–and to investigate …
