Neuroanatomy of language functions is a major focus in cognitive neuroscience with important implications for language research as well as language disorders. My work has employed a number of methods including theoretically motivated investigations of individuals with poststroke and primary progressive aphasias, and used structural brain imaging to explore the relationship between lesion/atrophy characteristics and behavioral measures. I have conducted studies isolating brain regions that play critical roles in language processing—including lexical system (word forms) and syntax (sentence structures)—and have also examined how these brain regions interact with other cognitive systems. My research also explores linguistic processes in the context of degeneration and development, from which I have developed my new line of work investigating how language shapes cognition and emotions.

This project will collect clinical, imaging, and behavioral data to be analyzed with the goal of improving clinical care for people with aphasia.
Study duration is expected to be no more than 2 months with actual local testing being around ~ 4h.
Speech-language and cognitive testing will be approximately 3 hours and brain scanning will take over 1 hour. Participants will have opportunity to do this in a single day or spread over multiple days.
