News Finding: Finally, bilateral frontal and left temporal lobe volumes increased with age in all of the children in the study.
Paper Finding: We found that, similarly to the cerebral volume, the bilateral frontal and left temporal lobe volumes increased with age in all children.
News Context: The researchers also found that higher radiation doses were associated with lower vocabulary scores in patients, suggesting that "radiation dose affects performance on vocabulary measures in a dose-dependent manner." Finally, bilateral frontal and left temporal lobe volumes increased with age in all of the children in the study. "Interestingly, the right frontal and right temporal lobe volumes differed significantly between patients and controls, and this persisted over time, with controls having higher volumes than patients," the researchers wrote.
Paper Context: Our findings are consistent with similarly published data. We found that, similarly to the cerebral volume, the bilateral frontal and left temporal lobe volumes increased with age in all children. Interestingly, the right frontal and right temporal lobe volumes differed significantly between patients and controls, and this persisted over time, with controls having higher volumes than patients.
