Current Research Studies

Our current research is focused on understanding language and communication difficulties in individuals with neurological disorders. With several multidisciplinary research groups, we are characterizing neuroplastic changes after language therapy in stroke patients, determining the optimal dose of anomia therapy in aphasia, investigating whether electrical simulation is a beneficial adjuvant to aphasia therapy, characterizing the nature and course of language impairments in primary progressive aphasia (PPA), and developing clinical interventions and guidelines for clinicians who work with dementia patients.
