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 …

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 …

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 …

Right hemisphere activation during functional imaging studies of language has frequently
been reported following left hemisphere injury. Few studies have anatomically characterized …

Brain imaging methods have contributed to shed light on the mechanisms of recovery after
early brain insult. The assumption that the unaffected right hemisphere can take over …

Brain plasticity has often been quoted as a reason for the more favorable outcome in
childhood stroke compared to adult stroke. We investigated the relationship between …

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

Early unilateral brain damage has different implications for language development than
does similar damage in adults, given the plasticity of the developing brain. The goal of this …

Acquired language disorders after stroke are strongly associated with left hemisphere
damage. When language difficulties are observed in the context of right hemisphere strokes …

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 …
