Mammal brains, unlike bones, do not fossilize. This fact presents a conundrum for scientists trying to understand how we came to be how we are. For example, scientists have long argued over how humans ...

Scientists have discovered an earlier origin to the human language pathway in the brain, pushing back its evolutionary origin by at least 20 million years. Previously, a precursor of the language ...

Infants born deaf or hard of hearing show adverse changes in how their brains organize and specialize, but exposure to sound and language may help them develop more normally, according to new research ...

A study has demonstrated a new technique for mapping the human auditory pathway, granting insights into the development of the auditory-language network in children with profound hearing loss.

Neurosurgeons from the University of California, San Francisco are reporting significant results of a new brain mapping technique that allows for the safe removal of tumors near language pathways in ...

Researchers have shed new light on the language pathway in the human brain, suggesting that its origins lie around 25 million years ago—twenty million years earlier than previously thought. Brain ...

Impairments in language and communication skills represent the core diagnostic features of autism. Individuals with autism often show delays in language acquisition; some with deficits as severe as ...

Researchers have developed a non-invasive method for mapping the human auditory pathway, which could potentially be used as a tool to help clinicians decide the best surgical strategy for patients ...
