“…In contrast, the dorsal pathway follows different developmental courses, with two subparts maturing at different rates. Whereas the dorsal connections reaching the premotor cortex are functional at birth, the terminations of the dorsal pathway reaching the posterior portion of Broca's area (BA 44) are still underdeveloped (Perani et al, 2011) and are not fully myelinated at the age of seven (Brauer et al, 2011(Brauer et al, , 2013. Adult studies on the learning of new languages indicate that whereas the audio-motor subpart is related to word learning (López-Barroso et al, 2013), the processing of non-adjacent elements relies on the latter subpart running from frontal BA 44 .…”
