\n New findings suggest infants and young kids process language in both hemispheres of the brain, which could help compensate after a neural injury, researchers say.<\/p>\n

In nearly all adults, sentence processing only takes place in the left hemisphere, according to neuroscientists from Georgetown University Medical Center. Previously, with traditional scanning, it was unclear whether \u201cstrong left dominance for language [was] present at birth or [app<\/a>eared] gradually during development,\u201d said Elissa Newport, Ph.D., Georgetown neurology professor, in a news<\/a> release.<\/p>\n

However, analyses using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) revealed that \u201cbrain networks that localize specific tasks to one or the other hemisphere start during childhood but are not complete until a child is about 10 or 11,\u201d Newport explained.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is very good news for young children who experience a neural injury,\u201d Newport said, per the release. \u201cUse of both hemispheres provides a mechanism to compensate after a neural injury. For example, if the left hemisphere is damaged from a perinatal stroke \u2014 one that occurs right after birth \u2014 a child will learn language using the right hemisphere. A child born with cerebral palsy that damages only one hemisphere can develop needed cognitive abilities in the other hemisphere. Our study demonstrates how that is possible.\u201d<\/p>\n

Newport is the director of the Center for Brain Plasticity and Recovery, a joint enterprise of Georgetown University and MedStar National Rehabilitation Network.<\/p>\n

She said \u201cin very young children, damage to either hemisphere is unlikely to result in language deficits,\u201d and added that the findings suggest \u201clanguage is distributed to both hemispheres early in life.\u201d Newport believes the gradual decline of language processing in the right hemisphere over time is a shift in \u201cneural distribution of language functions,\u201d and not just \u201cdevelopmental changes in sentence comprehension strategies.\u201d<\/p>\n

Newport\u2019s team built on previous research from Dr. William Gaillard, and Madison Berl, Ph.D., of Children\u2019s National Medical Center, that had enrolled 39 healthy children aged 4 to 13. The Georgetown researchers added 14 adults aged 18 to 29 and performed new analyses on both groups. They looked at fMRI patterns in each hemisphere of a participant, as opposed to group averages.<\/p>\n

They found that while young kids \u201cshowed left-lateralized language activation,\u201d \u201ca large proportion of the youngest children also showed significant activation in the corresponding right-hemisphere areas.\u201d<\/p>\n

Newport expects a higher right hemisphere involvement if the study were to examine even younger children. According to the release, the researchers are now investigating language activation in teens and young adults who underwent \u201ca major left hemisphere stroke\u201d during birth.<\/p>\n

The findings were reportedly published on Sept. 7 in PNAS.<\/p>\n
