Newborn Stroke

Newborn Stroke

Newborn babies who suffered stroke regain language function in opposite side of brain. A stroke in a baby -- even a big one -- does not have the same lasting impact as a stroke in an adult. A study found that a decade or two after a 'perinatal' stroke damaged the left 'language' side of the brain, affected teenagers and young adults used the right sides of their brain for language.
