Early
Language Focal Lesion Study - Project in Cognitive and Neural Development,
UCSD
Dr. Doris Trauner and colleagues are studying how children develop
language and learning skills over time, and how the brain reorganizes
after early stroke. This study in particular looks at typically developing
children and children who have had strokes in-utero or very early in life.
The
Brain Imaging Center at Washington University, St. Louis is recruiting
children and adults, ages 6 and up, who have experienced a perinatal
stroke (a stroke that occurred before, during or just after birth) to participate in
a research study. Participants will play word games and thinking games while
researchers take MRI images of the participant's brain. Participants will
be paid for their help, and all travel expenses will be compensated. If
