Neuroimaging and the trimodal brain: Applications for developmental communication neuroscience

Journal/Book: Folia Phoniatr Logopaed. 1998; 50: Allschwilerstrasse 10, CH-4009 Basel, Switzerland. Karger. 118-145.

Abstract: New details generated by neuroimaging and other methods for studying the neural correlates of behavior have led to the formulation of a new model of brain organization, the Trimodal Brain. The model incorporates current biochemical, anatomical, and physiological concepts of prenatal brain growth and combines them with findings on right/left functional asymmetries. It provides a means of relating a wide range of human behaviors and clinical states according to a common base of neural organization, and stresses the utility of an organizational rather than a lesion model for understanding developmental communication disorders.
