The aim of the current study was to examine microstructural differences in white matter relevant to procedural and declarative memory between adolescents/young adults with and without Developmental Language Disorder (DLD) using diffusion tensor imaging (DTI). The findings showed atypical age-related changes in white matter structures in the corticostriatal system, in the corticocerebellar system, and in the medial temporal region in individuals with DLD. Results highlight the importance of considering the age factor in research on DLD. Future studies are needed to examine the developmental relationship between long-term memory and individual differences in language development and learning.

发育性语言障碍 (DLD) 中的程序性和陈述性记忆大脑系统

本研究的目的是使用弥散张量成像 (DTI) 检查与程序性和陈述性记忆相关的白质微观结构差异。研究结果显示，DLD 患者的皮质纹状体系统、皮质小脑系统和内侧颞区的白质结构出现非典型的年龄相关变化。结果强调了在 DLD 研究中考虑年龄因素的重要性。未来的研究需要检查长期记忆与语言发展和学习的个体差异之间的发展关系。
