Language Disorder
What’s language disorder? People with language disorder have difficulty expressing themselves and understanding what others are saying. This is unrelated to hearing problems. Language disorder, formerly known as receptive-expressive language disorder, is common in young children.
Cluster Number:
Wiki Number: PW113
Diagnosis: Language Disorder
US Patients: 7% of young children;acquired before age 3
World Patients:
Sex Ratio: B2;G
Age Onset:
Brain Area:
Symptoms: may involve grammar or semantics (meaning of words); can be in forming or expressing language or in understanding language
Progression: may have problems in the mental formation of language itself
Causes: expressive language disorders may include limited vocabulary, inability to produce complex grammar or others; audiology may help
Medications:
Therapies: speech therapy my help those with forming and expressing language; help in reading comprehension may be more difficult

- Perisylvian and Hippocampal Anomalies in Individuals With Pathogenic GRIN2A Variantsby Daisy G Y Thompson-Lake on May 8, 2024
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Pathogenic variants in GRIN2A are associated with a spectrum of epilepsy-aphasia syndromes (EASs). Seizures as well as speech and language disorders occur frequently but vary widely in severity, both between individuals and across the life span. The link between this phenotypic spectrum and brain characteristics is unknown. Specifically, altered brain networks at the root of speech and language deficits remain to be identified. Patients with pathogenic variants in...
- Neurodevelopmental outcome in preterm infants with intraventricular hemorrhages: the potential of quantitative brainstem MRIby Patric Kienast on May 8, 2024
CONCLUSION: Quantitative magnetic resonance imaging can provide valuable insights into neurodevelopmental outcomes after intraventricular hemorrhage, potentially aiding in identifying at-risk neonates. Multi-dynamic multi-echo sequence sequences hold promise as an adjunct to conventional sequences, enhancing the sensitivity of neonatal magnetic resonance neuroimaging and supporting clinical decision-making for these vulnerable patients.
- Insights into the structure and function of the hippocampus: implications for the pathophysiology and treatment of autism spectrum disorderby Junzi Long on May 8, 2024
The hippocampus is one of the brain areas affected by autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Individuals with ASD typically have impairments in hippocampus-dependent learning, memory, language ability, emotional regulation, and cognitive map creation. However, the pathological changes in the hippocampus that result in these cognitive deficits in ASD are not yet fully understood. In the present review, we will first summarize the hippocampal involvement in individuals with ASD. We will then provide an...
- Investigating light sensitivity in bipolar disorder (HELIOS-BD)by Amber Roguski on May 8, 2024
Many people with bipolar disorder have disrupted circadian rhythms. This means that the timing of sleep and wake activities becomes out-of-sync with the standard 24-hour cycle. Circadian rhythms are strongly influenced by light levels and previous research suggests that people with bipolar disorder might have a heightened sensitivity to light, causing more circadian rhythm disruption, increasing the potential for triggering a mood switch into mania or depression. Lithium has been in clinical use...
