Abstract
Children's language development starts in utero, with language‐relevant brain areas starting to develop and differentiate during the second trimester of pregnancy. Postnatal development in language‐relevant brain areas such as the inferior frontal gyrus (IFG) and superior temporal gyrus (STG) has been shown to be related to language skills. In this study, as part of the Cambridge Human Imaging and Longitudinal Development (CHILD) project, prenatal structural characteristics of the IFG and STG (30th – 33rd GW) and their association with English children's language skills, obtained longitudinally at two postnatal assessment points (n = 24 and n = 25) was examined. Prenatal bilateral STG volume was found to be associated with expressive vocabulary 2–3 years after birth (M = 139.1 weeks), as measured by the Communicative Development Inventory (CDI). These results highlight the relevance of prenatal brain development for language acquisition after birth.
Summary: Postnatal structural characteristics of neural language network, including IFG and STG, are known to be related to language skills in children and adults
Structural characteristics of IFG and STG were assessed prenatally in this study and related to language outcomes in early childhood
Bilateral STG volume at birth predicts vocabulary scores 2–3 years later
Findings support the importance of prenatal brain development for postnatal language acquisition

The paper's code and data availability statement is in the Data section.
Tracing map
Proposed by the machine: these links were found in the paper and verified at the source, without human review. The map will receive a Zenodo DOI once one of the paper's authors has validated it with their ORCID.
What the map holds:
- 1 repository of the authors' code, each at its verified commit, with its license and how the link was found in the paper;
- 1 script, each with its path and the digest of its content;
- 2 matches between paragraphs of the paper and lines of the code (method lexical-v1);
- neither the text of the paper nor the code itself.
Its JSON (tracing-map.json) is deposited on Zenodo with its DOI once the map is validated.
