Background The predictable path to child language acquisition is largely constrained by
both brain maturation and environmental experience. The synchronized activity of large …

Frontal gamma power has been associated with early language development in typically
developing toddlers, and gamma band abnormalities have been observed in individuals …

Gamma activity has been linked to a variety of different cognitive processes and exists in
both transient and persistent forms. Across studies, different brain regions have been …

High-frequency cortical activity in humans and animals has been linked to a wide variety of
higher cognitive processes. This research suggests that specific changes in neuronal …

Early childhood is a period of tremendous growth in both language ability and brain
maturation. To understand the dynamic interplay between neural activity and spoken …

Infants who have more power within the gamma frequency range at rest develop better
language and cognitive abilities over their first 3 years of life (Benasich et al., 2008). This …

Cortical signals have been shown to track acoustic and linguistic properties of continuous
speech. This phenomenon has been measured in both children and adults, reflecting …

Abstract Background Most children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) have co-occurring
language impairments and some of these autism-specific language difficulties are also …

The brain's activity at rest changes dramatically as it develops. Resting oscillatory power
within delta and theta bands, for example, decreases steadily between childhood and late …

The ability to rapidly discriminate successive auditory stimuli within tens-of-milliseconds is
crucial for speech and language development, particularly in the first year of life. This skill …
