We assessed the relationship between brain structure and function in 10 individuals with
specific language impairment (SLI), compared to six unaffected siblings, and 16 unrelated …

Previous neuroimaging studies have suggested that children with specific language
impairment (SLI) may show subtle anatomical alterations in specific brain regions. We aimed …

The planum temporale and pars triangularis have been found to be larger in the left
hemisphere than the right in individuals with normal language skills. Brain morphology …

Studies of patients with acquired cognitive deficits following brain damage and studies using
contemporary neuroimaging techniques form two distinct streams of research on the neural …

Atypical functional lateralization and specialization for language have been proposed to
account for developmental language disorders, yet results from functional neuroimaging …

Disorders of speech and language arise out of a complex interaction of genetic,
environmental, and neural factors. Little is understood about the neural bases of these …

For the past 150 years, neurobiological models of language have debated the role of key
brain regions in language function. One consistently debated set of issues concern the role …

Lesion-symptom mapping studies aim to make inferences about the functional
neuroanatomy of spoken language understanding by investigating relationships between …

Deviant anatomical asymmetry of perisylvian cortex is argued to be linked to specific
language impairment (SLI). However, no studies have examined whether deviant functional …

Clinical, behavioral, and neurophysiological studies of developmental language impairment
(LI), including reading disability (RD), have variously emphasized different factors that may …
