Abstract

âº Analysis of cortico-cortical language networks in healthy children. âº Analysis of cortico-subcortical language networks. âº Individually fMRI-guided probabilistic tractography. âº Robust asymmetry of the arcuate fasciculus. âº Robust asymmetry connections arising from the caudate nucleus. âº Results indicate that structural asymmetry already exists in children.
