Join this interactive session as Dr. Laia Fibla and Dr. John Spencer discuss their paper, “Language exposure and brain myelination in early development”, with JNeurosci Reviewing Editor Dr. Elana Zion-Golumbic. Attendees can submit questions at registration and live during the webinar.
Below is the significance statement of the paper published on May 15, 2023 in JNeurosci and authored by Laia Fibla, Samuel H. Forbes, Jordan McCarthy, Kate Mee, Vincent Magnotta, Sean Deoni, Donnie Cameron, and John P. Spencer
This is the first study to look at how brain myelination is impacted by language input and socioeconomic status early in development. We find robust relationships of both factors in language-related brain areas at 30 months of age.
