Credit: SciTechDaily.comResearch reveals brain irregularities in kids with developmental language problems, recommending prospective new paths for medical diagnosis and treatment based on movement-related brain functions.An extensive analysis of numerous research studies concludes that a part of the brain generally associated with movement is irregular in children with developmental language disabilities, according to Georgetown University Medical Center neuroscientists. The discovery has the prospective to enhance both the medical diagnosis and treatment of the language difficulties.Uncovering Brain Abnormalities in Language DisordersThe researchers examined brain problems in developmental language disorder. They identified that the anterior neostriatum was unusual in 100% of the studies that took a look at the structure, with less irregularities in all other parts of the brain.Potential Implications and Future Research”We hope that by determining the neural bases of developmental language problems we may help increase awareness of a major, but also rather unacknowledged, condition,” states the research studys lead author Michael T. Ullman, PhD, teacher of neuroscience and director of the Brain and Language Laboratory at Georgetown University Medical.
