| Outline of Research at the Start |
This study aimed to clarify brain structural atypicality in verbally abused children and adolescents and to identify whether GMV atypicality was associated with changes in actual auditory and language functions. Identifying sub-clinical and clinical auditory problems associated with structural and functional brain atypicality using rapid and objective measures, such as the pure-tone threshold, would contribute to detecting child maltreatment and, thus, providing immediate and timely intervention.
