The paper examines how infant brain language networks relate to school-age reading abilities through phonological skills development over seven years.

This study examines how psychosocial adversity affects inhibitory control in children from low-resource environments using fMRI and behavioral data.

This study tracks changes in brain activation related to reading fluency over time and links increased ventral occipito-temporal cortex activity to improved reading skills.

The paper compares brain networks in human adults, neonates, and macaques to show that tool processing networks exist in humans before experience but not in macaques.

This study identifies distinct neural correlates of phonological processing and reading impairment in adolescents with and without facial dysmorphology due to prenatal alcohol exposure.

This study shows that infant white matter organization predicts kindergarten language abilities, specifically phonological awareness and vocabulary knowledge.

This study shows that infant functional connectivity patterns predict language and pre-literacy skills at age 6.5, independent of environmental factors and early language development.

The paper identifies factors predicting better reading outcomes in kindergarten children at risk for dyslexia, focusing on neural, cognitive-linguistic, and socioeconomic factors.

This study identifies distinct neural activation patterns in pre-readers with a family history of dyslexia who later develop typical reading skills, suggesting protective mechanisms may be present before reading onset.
