Altered structural brain connectivity involving the dorsal and ventral language pathways in 16p11.2 deletion syndrome.

For: All,

This brain‑imaging study shows that children with a proximal 16p11.2 deletion have differences in the brain pathways used for understanding and producing language, helping families understand why speech and communication can be especially challenging and why targeted language‑focused therapies and early supports are particularly important for children with this genetic condition.
