This study examines neural correlates of pseudoword repetition and learning in children with developmental language disorder (DLD) using fMRI, finding reduced default-mode network suppression and hemispheric specialisation in DLD.

This study examines microstructural properties of cerebellar peduncles in children with developmental language disorder using diffusion-weighted imaging and finds reduced fractional anisotropy in the inferior cerebellar peduncles.

This study compares cortical surface area and thickness between children with developmental language disorder and controls, finding reduced surface area in specific brain regions but no differences in thickness or asymmetry.

The paper uses quantitative MRI to find reduced myelin in specific brain regions of children with DLD compared to typically developing children.

This study uses tDCS to show that motor cortex and cerebellum have distinct roles in sensorimotor learning during speech production, with motor cortex driving movement pattern adaptation and cerebellum focusing on error correction.
