The purpose of this study was to explore changes in activation of the cortical network that
serves auditory sentence comprehension in children in response to increasing demands of …

Prior structural imaging studies found initial evidence for the link between structural gray
matter changes and the development of language performance in children. However …

Sentence comprehension requires the integration of both syntactic and semantic
information, the acquisition of which seems to have different trajectories in the developing …

The neural representation of language comprehension has been examined in several meta-
analyses of fMRI studies with human adults. To complement this work from a developmental …

The ability to comprehend narratives constitutes an important component of human
development and experience. The neural correlates of auditory narrative comprehension in …

Sentence comprehension is a complex task that involves both language-specific processing
components and general cognitive resources. Comprehension can be made more difficult …

In this paper, we investigate how subtle differences in hearing acuity affect the neural
systems supporting speech processing in young adults. Auditory sentence comprehension …

Cortical regions engaged by sentence processing were mapped using functional MRI. The
influence of input modality (spoken word vs. print input) and parsing difficulty (sentences …

Using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), this study directly examined an issue
that bridges the potential language processing and multi-modal views of the role of Broca's …

Objective. Abnormalities in brain structure, cognition, and behavior have been described in
children born prematurely. However, no direct in vivo evidence has yet demonstrated …
