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 …

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 …

A prominent theme in the literature on brain injury and recovery has been the notion of early
developmental plasticity (Kennard 1940, Kolb et al. 2000). This has been a particular focus …

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 …

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

Studies of young children with unilateral perinatal stroke (PS) have confirmed the plasticity
of the developing brain for acquiring language. While recent studies of typically developing …

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 …

The goal of this study was to examine structured language skills in children with perinatal
strokes. Participants were 28 school-age children with early focal brain lesions (17 with left …

We have long known that language is lateralized to the left hemisphere (LH) in most
neurologically healthy adults. In contrast, findings on lateralization of function during …

The ability to learn language is a human trait. In adults and children, brain imaging studies
have shown that auditory language activates a bilateral frontotemporal network with a left …
