Brain plasticity is frequently cited as the cause of the better prognosis in paediatric stroke compared to adult stroke. We looked into the connection between linguistic prowess and language localization in paediatric stroke. 17 kids and teenagers with left- or right-sided ischemic stroke and 18 healthy controls underwent a battery of extensive neurolinguistic tests, and an fMRI language paradigm was used to measure each person's individual brain representation of language. Among the 17 stroke patients, 12 had language skills that were below average, and five had language performance issues. Right hemisphere regions homotopic to left hemisphere language regions showed higher activity in fMRI.
