Working version
The auditory system of the brain, from cochlear nerve to
temporal lobes - essential for child language development

lead to developmental
language disorders?
Proposed Research on Developmental Language Disorders

My interest is in this
small area of the
midbrain

From insults such as:
Prenatal exposure to alcohol?
Prenatal infection?
Asphyxia at birth?
Toxic exposure in infancy?
