Left-right temporal region asymmetry in infants and children.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Thirty-two consecutive cranial computed tomographic (CT) scans in normal infants ranging from 1 day to 3 years of age were evaluated for asymmetry of the temporal lobes as evidenced by differences in the size of the sylvian fissures. The left sylvian fissure was larger than the right in 23 of the 32 cases, which was statistically significant (p less than 0.0001). In five other cases the two sides were equal; in the four remaining cases, the right side was larger than the left. The results show that asymmetry of the temporal lobes can be demonstrated in vivo even at birth and that this asymmetry is a normal developmental difference between the two hemispheres and not secondary to an acquired abnormality.

Background and Objective: In recent years, numerous studies have suggested dysfunction in brain symmetry as the reason behind developmental stuttering. The purpose of this study was to validate the theory of reversed right hemisphere asymmetry in developmental stutters by quantified EEG. Materials and Methods: 13 Subjects with developmental stuttering, 7 to 23 years old were studied using QE...

METHODS Thirty-six VLBW infants who underwent F-18 fluorodeoxyglucose (F-18 FDG) brain PET and MRI were prospectively enrolled, while infants with evidence of parenchymal brain injury on MRI were excluded. The regional glucose metabolic ratio and asymmetry index were calculated. The asymmetry index more than 10% (right > left asymmetry) or less than -10% (left > right asymmetry) were defined as...
متن کاملA functional magnetic resonance imaging study of left hemisphere language dominance in children.
BACKGROUND Functional magnetic resonance imaging is a noninvasive method of assessing language dominance in a pediatric population. OBJECTIVE To determine the pattern of receptive language lateralization in healthy children. DESIGN We used functional magnetic resonance imaging to assess an auditory language task in 11 children (7 girls, 4 boys; mean age, 8.5 years). Participants alternately...
متن کاملNormal Value of Left Ventricular End-Systolic Elastance in Infants and Children
Background: In certain conditions, there is a need for a specific and improved measure of cardiac performance. Routine methods for assessing left ventricular (LV) function are based on image-analysis or right heart monitoring which do not allow evaluation of ventriculo-arterial interaction. Chen et al presented a noninvasive method allowing measurement of end-systolic pressure–volume relation ...

We aimed to elucidate the dACC laterality in typically developing children and their sex/age-related differences with a sample of 84 right-handed children (6-16 years, 42 boys). We first replicated the previous finding observed in adults that gray matter density asymmetry in the dACC was region-specific: leftward (left > right) in its superior part, rightward (left < right) in its inferior part...
