Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Developmental Psychology
  • Pediatric Neurology

Context:

  • Hemispheric specialization is established in adults but debated in young children due to developmental changes.
  • Brain development involves complex anatomical and organizational maturation.
  • Neuropsychology in children must account for plasticity and critical periods.

Purpose:

  • To review theories of brain functional organization development in children.
  • To discuss data on brain lesions and development in children.
  • To examine hemispheric functional organization in developmental disorders.

Summary:

  • This review explores brain functional organization in children, considering development, maturation, and plasticity.
  • It analyzes data from children with brain damage and normal development.

Related Experiment Videos

  • Three developmental disorders (developmental dysphasia, benign rolandic epilepsy, congenital hydrocephalus) were studied using neuropsychological tests to understand hemispheric specialization.

    • Impact:

    • Provides insights into the developing brain and hemispheric specialization in pediatric populations.
    • Highlights the role of plasticity and critical periods in functional organization.
    • Offers a framework for understanding neurodevelopmental disorders through the lens of hemispheric function.
