Cerebral softening, also known as encephalomalacia, is a localized softening of the substance of the brain, due to bleeding or inflammation.

Factors other than obesity, however, perhaps genetic and/or environmental ones, are needed to explain the higher prevalence of early puberty in black versus white girls." [ 18 ] While more girls are increasingly entering puberty at younger ages, new research indicates that some boys are actually starting later ( delayed puberty ).
On a large autopsy material without selecting the most frequently detected PVL in male children with birth weight was 1500-2500 g., dying at 6–8 days of life. Diffuse brain damage with softening (diffus leucomalacia, DFL) are found more frequently in children weighing less than 1500 g. However, PVL is not a DFL. [1]

Notable among the morphologic changes in size, shape, composition, and functioning of the pubertal body, is the development of secondary sex characteristics , the "filling in" of the child's ...
Other evidence comes from neuropsychology where it is known that adults well beyond the critical period are more likely to suffer permanent language impairment from brain damage than are children, believed to be due to youthful resiliency of neural reorganization. [52] Steven Pinker discusses the CPH in his book, The Language Instinct.
According to demographics 1 out of 6 children have a significant language delay; [142] speech/language delay is three to four times more common in boys than in girls. [143] Some children also display behavioral problems due to their frustration of not being able to express what they want or need. [144] Simple speech delays are usually temporary.
