Department Description

The ALBA Language Neurobiology laboratory in the UCSF Neurology Department's Memory and Aging Center studies how language is organized into brain networks across the lifespan. The group researches how language skills and brain regions are impacted by neurological conditions and how they reorganize in response. Our multidisciplinary team correlates behavioral research with multimodal neuroimaging techniques to understand the neural underpinning of higher cognitive functions such as speech, language, and memory. In particular, we research two syndromes: Primary Progressive Aphasia and Dyslexia.

The UCSF Dyslexia Center and the UCSF|UC Berkeley Schwab Center for Dyslexia and Cognitive Diversity centers aim to eliminate the debilitating effects of developmental dyslexia while supporting the relative strengths of each individual. These centers develop best practice protocols to assess and diagnose children with dyslexia and other learning differences through a multimodal cognitive and neuroimaging program. They work closely with schools and educators to develop early interventions and educational strategies to help children with dyslexia thrive.
