Zusammenfassung

Compared to adults, children show superior recovery of language after damage to the dominant brain hemisphere. Possible explanations are that children have different patterns of language representation or display different patterns of reorganization. Information about language lateralization in children could provide insights into the repair mechanims of the young brain. While functional magnetic resonance usually is difficult to perform in children younger than five years, functional transcranial Doppler sonography (fTCD) is non frightening and readily applicable in young and very young children. However, for s…
