Introduction The relationship between language abilities and language lateralization in the
developing brain is important for our understanding of the neural architecture of language …

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 …

This fMRI study investigated the development of language lateralization in left-and
righthanded children between 5 and 18years of age. Twenty-seven left-handed children (17 …

It is well known that language processing depends on specialized areas in the left side of
the brain in the majority of the population. A popular view is that developmental language …

Left hemisphere damage in adulthood often leads to linguistic deficits, but many cases of
early damage leave linguistic processing preserved, and a functional language system can …

For the majority of the population, language is a left-hemisphere lateralized function. During
childhood, a pattern of increasing left lateralization for language has been described in brain …

The timing and developmental factors underlying the establishment of language dominance
are poorly understood. We investigated the degree of lateralization of traditional …

Background Functional magnetic resonance imaging is a noninvasive method of assessing
language dominance in a pediatric population. Objective To determine the pattern of …

Studies of language organization show a striking change in cerebral dominance for
language over development: We begin life with a left hemisphere (LH) bias for language …

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