This study examines how implicit statistical learning networks' connectivity relates to aphasia severity in post-stroke patients, finding stronger connectivity correlates with milder aphasia.

This paper introduces a novel MEG protocol for mapping speech motor control regions during speech production, showing focal activation in precentral gyrus and differences between adults, typically developing children, and children with CAS.

This study identifies 18 high-confidence genetic variants in 26% of childhood apraxia of speech cases, expanding the list of candidate genes and highlighting shared pathways with other neurodevelopmental disorders.
