Description
Summary:The DTI results support Cowan's model with subcortical connectivity linking speech motor areas (premotor cortex and supplementary motor area) with striatal structures for efficient. [...]subcortical structures seem to be implicated in language acquisition, and this relation seems to take place through phonological loop as a key cognitive process to successfully extract the patterns which allow word-segmentation as well as the extraction of the rules embedded in language.
