The study aims to examine the role of the cerebellum in language recovery following pre- or perinatal stroke. While adults often experience lasting language impairment from early strokes, infants often show remarkable recovery. However, the role of the cerebellum in this recovery is not well understood. The study will analyze MRI scans of 42 individuals who suffered early strokes and 26 siblings without injury. It will correlate the volume of cerebellar regions to language outcomes, hypothesizing that greater atrophy in specific cerebellar areas will predict poorer language skills. Findings could influence rehabilitation strategies after early brain damage.
