Research findings challenge long-held assumptions about how we learn or regain speech - McGill University
McGill University researchers have upended decades of neurological dogma, revealing that speech acquisition and recovery are far more decentralized than previously understood. Their groundbreaking study, led by Dr. Sarah Chen, demonstrates that the brain leverages a complex array of "compensatory neural networks" in areas like the cerebellum and subcortical regions, not just the traditionally recognized motor cortex pathways, challenging the linear Wernicke-Broca model that has dominated speech therapy.
