Abstract
Aims: Early lesions of the left hemisphere (LH) induce reorganization of the productive language network to the right hemisphere, if a) anterior language cortex or b) the facial motor tracts are damaged. One of the first steps in the acquisition of speech and language production is the production of speech sounds, where the facial motor tracts play a crucial role. It is still unclear, however, which structures are relevant for LH processing of language comprehension in children with congenital LH brain lesions. We conducted a lesion-symptom-mapping study to identify brain structures possibly triggering the reorganisation of language comprehension if damaged early in brain development.
