For example, in childhood, brain regions involved in language learning develop quickly, which is why many children can learn and master multiple languages. Yet the prefrontal cortex, a brain region responsible for cognitive control and inhibition, is slower to develop. As a result, some young chi...
Compared with peak GMV at 5.9 years, the age of peak regional grey matter volume varied considerably—from approximately 2 to 10 years—across 34 cortical areas. Primary sensory regions reached peak volume earliest and showed faster post-peak declines, whereas fronto-temporal association cortical ...
Jain says future research should investigate whether these models can be expanded from music that participants have heard to imagined internal speech. “I’m hopeful that these findings would translate because similar brain regions are engaged w...

For most individuals, many aspects of language are a left-lateralized function. Particularly critical brain regions for meaningful sentence comprehension include, broadly, middle and inferior temporal cortex; pars orbitalis; bilateral superior temporal sulci; Heschl's gyrus, in dorsal temporal lobe and ...
Two language-associated cortical regions, the superior temporal gyrus (part of the Wernicke area) and its subdivisions (planum temporale, Heschl gyrus, and anterior superior temporal gyrus) and the inferior frontal gyrus (Broca area in the dominant hemisphere), and a non-language-associated region,...

For instance, we know that there is behaviourally relevant functional organisation within brain regions and potential multiplicity of these regions [21,22,23,24,25]. Connectopic mapping is able to characterise within region of interest (ROI) variations in functional connectivity while simultaneously ...
s communicating with subcortical regions deep in our brain. The frontal cortex, a large area behind the forehead, is the most recently evolved part of the brain. It is larger in humans than in other primates and is critical for many complex human functions such as language and goal setting....
Epigenetic modifications in key brain regions both establish and maintain sex differences. Neuroimmune and inflammatory signalling pathways are essential contributors to the masculinization of brain and behaviour. Higher male vulnerability to neurodevelopmental disorders may have its origins in naturally occurrin...
