Dr. Cler’s new paper, “Quantitative MRI reveals differences in striatal myelination in children with DLD,” examines how a specific brain area involved in movement and learning (the striatum) develops a protective coating (myelination) in children with DLD. Using MRI scans, this study observed that children with DLD have different myelination patterns in the striatum compared to typically developing children. These results help us understand the brain differences in children with DLD and could lead to better interventions for this disorder.
