    Prenatal Language Exposure: Can Babies Learn Before Birth?

    Can a language learn before a baby is born? A growing body of evidence from neuropsychology suggests that the language brain may begin its remarkable wiring even before birth. In a study funded by NSERC (the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada) and conducted with researchers from the Université de Montréal, expectant mothers…
