Neuroanatomy of language functions is a major focus in cognitive neuroscience with important implications for language research as well as language disorders. I have used functional and structural neuroimaging to identify selective brain regions with remarkably specific functions, including lexical retrieval, grammatical morphology, and word-order syntax. 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.
