The Centre for Speech, Language and the Brain is part
of the Department
of Experimental Psychology at the University of
Cambridge. Our interdisciplinary research covers a
wide range of issues in the neurobiology of language,
integrating behavioural experimental and neuroimaging
studies on healthy people, together with similar research
on brain-damaged patients.
The major themes cross-cutting
our research are
- Neurobiology of spoken language in healthy
and brain-damaged populations:
- Working with healthy people, we develop accounts
of the functional relationships between the anatomically
distributed regions involved in language processing.
- Working with brain-damaged patients (in both
the acute and chronic phases), we investigate
issues of reorganisation and plasticity following
brain damage.
- Neurocognitive accounts of conceptual knowledge:
- How is meaning represented and processed in
the mind and brain? We develop cognitive models
of conceptual knowledge and investigate how
conceptual knowledge is processed in both the
healthy and damaged system.
- The ageing brain and cognition:
- We study language function in normal healthy
ageing to determine the relationship between
preserved function and neural change.
- Neuroimaging methodologies:
- We develop new methodologies to study structure-function
relationships in healthy and damaged brains.
