“…25,[48][49][50] Using this task, we showed similar expressive language lateralization patterns among children (ages 3 to 6 and 7 to 10), adolescents (ages 11 to 16), and young adults (ages 19 to 30). 46 More specifically, strong left hemisphere responses along with weaker right hemisphere activation were found in all groups. Moreover, younger children (ages 3 to 6) showed smaller hemodynamic responses than adolescents and adults in both hemispheres, probably due to weaker performance by the younger children on the task.…”

“…In addition, a group of eight young adults (ages 18 to 30) was included to measure mature language networks. Groups were defined based on previous studies, 45,46 allowing for the investigation of fcNIRS applicability at various developmental stages: early childhood (ages 3 to 6; n ¼ 6), late childhood (ages 7 to 10; n ¼ 8), adolescence (ages 11 to 16; n ¼ 11), and early adulthood (ages 18 to 30; n ¼ 8). Exclusion criteria were preterm birth (gestational age <37 weeks) or history of known congenital, neurologic, developmental, psychiatric, or metabolic disorders.…”

Abstract. Patients with brain tumor or refractory epilepsy may be candidates for neurosurgery. Presurgical evaluation often includes language investigation to prevent or reduce the risk of postsurgical language deficits. Current techniques involve significant limitations with pediatric populations. Recently, near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) has been shown to be a valuable neuroimaging technique for language localization in children. However, it typically requires the child to perform a task (task-based NIRS), which may constitute a significant limitation. Resting-state functional connectivity NIRS (fcNIRS) is an approach that can be used to identify language networks at rest. This study aims to assess the utility of fcNIRS in children by comparing fcNIRS to more conventional task-based NIRS for language mapping in 33 healthy participants: 25 children (ages 3 to 16) and 8 adults. Data were acquired at rest and during a language task. Results show very good concordance between both approaches for language localization (Dice similarity coefficient ¼ 0.81 AE 0.13) and hemispheric language dominance (kappa ¼ 0.86, p < 0.006). The fcNIRS technique may be a valuable tool for language mapping in clinical populations, including children and patients with cognitive and behavioral impairments. © The Authors.Published by SPIE under a Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 Unported License.

“…It is possible that changes in lateralisation may be more apparent when very young children are investigated, below six years of age (Berl et al, 2014). However, studies which have investigated younger age ranges using Near-Infrared Spectroscopy suggest language lateralisation may be established as early as three years of age (Paquette et al, 2015).…”

“…These studies have suggested that these processes engage broadly similar brain regions regardless of age group (Balsamo, Xu, Gaillard, et al, 2006; Debska et al, 2016; Kovelman et al, 2012; Paquette et al, 2015; Raschle, Zuk, & Gaab, 2012; Szaflarski et al, 2006; Youssofzadeh, Williamson, & Kadis, 2017; Yu et al, 2018). In terms of phonological awareness, only a few studies examined young children using word-level phonological auditory tasks.…”

This study aimed to examine early specialization of brain regions for phonological and semantic processing of spoken language in young children. Thirty-five typically developing children from 5- to 6-years of age performed auditory phonological (same sound judgment) and semantic (related meaning judgment) word-level tasks. Using functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging, we examined specialization within the language network, by conducting three levels of analysis. First, we directly compared activation between tasks and found a greater sound judgment as compared to meaning judgment activation in left superior temporal gyrus (STG) and supramarginal gyrus. In contrast, greater meaning judgment as compared to sound judgment task activation was found in left middle temporal gyrus (MTG). Second, we examined the brain-behavior correlations and found that phonological skill was correlated with the task difference in activation in left superior temporal sulcus, whereas semantic skill was correlated with the task difference in activation in left MTG. Third, we compared between two experimental conditions within each task and found a parametric effect in left STG for the sound judgment task, and a parametric effect in left MTG for the meaning judgment task. The results of this study indicate that, by the age of 5-6 years, typically developing children already show some specialization of temporo-parietal brain regions for phonological and semantic processes. However, there were no task differences in the left inferior frontal gyrus, suggesting that the frontal cortex may not yet be specialized in this age range, which is consistent with the delayed maturation of the frontal cortex.
