Nevertheless, the high percentage of atypical language in our cohort is in accordance with that of other centres (Gaillard et al., 2007) and allowed us to robustly estimate the contribution of anatomical factors in language plasticity.
Since that time we have cared for and maintained this unique work, permitting hundreds of thousands of contributions in many languages all over the world.
The present study therefore uses rTMS as a virtual lesion model to investigate the right hemisphere's contribution to language processing in the healthy human brain.

Therefore, we believe that a bi-hemispheric contribution to language reorganisation is in good agreement with the literature.
Working memory is commonly affected after childhood TBI (e.g. Mandalis, Kinsella, Ong, & Anderson, 2007; Moran & Gillon, 2004) and its contribution to language is frequently discussed in children with developmental language disorders (e.g., Lum, Conti-Ramsden, Page, & Ullman, 2012).
However, until this day, we found in the literature neither an organization and a mapping of the contributions in the Brazilian Portuguese language, nor a synthesis of all the contributions.

Apart from the fact that it is a great scholarly contribution in its own right, WALS serves as a rich databank for research in language typology.
