Laboratory for Neurodevelopment of Reading and Language (LNRL)

Our research focuses on key issues of reading from a neurobiological, cognitive, and educational perspective. The primary goal is to understand brain development with respect to reading and language and how impairment and remediation are reflected in the cortex. From school-based and cross-sectional paradigms to adult training tasks, our work combines innovative and complex methodologies in functional and structural magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and event-related potentials (ERP) with developmental and behavioral research.
