Former Department of Neuropsychology

The former Department of Neuropsychology was dedicated to explore the functional architecture of language and its neuroanatomical foundations in both the adult and developing brain. The department’s goal was to comprehensively describe the neural mechanisms underlying language processing and language acquisition, and to specify their functional and structural organization.
