***************************************



THE BRAIN AND LANGUAGE LAB



The Brain and Language Lab at Georgetown University, directed by Michael
Ullman, investigates the biological and psychological bases of first and
second language in normal and disordered children and adults, and the
relations between language and other cognitive domains (primarily memory
and music). The lab's members test their hypotheses using a set of
complementary behavioral, neurological, electrophysiologial (ERPs),
neuroimaging (fMRI), and biological (genetic, endocrine) approaches. The
lab is interested in the normal acquisition and processing of language, and
its variability as a function of factors such as genotype, hormone levels,
sex, handedness, age, and learning context (e.g., classroom vs. immersion).
Additionally, the lab investigates the breakdown and recovery of language
and other functions in a variety of disorders, including Specific Language
Impairment, autism, ADHD, dyslexia, Tourette syndrome, Alzheimer's disease,
Parkinson's disease, Huntington's disease, and aphasia. For more details on
the Brain and Language Lab, please seehttp://brainlang.georgetown.edu.
