Research Projects
The Laboratory for Neuropsychology groups several researchers who specialize in clinical and fundamental research on the cerebral organization of cognitive functions. Our main research themes include: Apraxia and the neural correlates of transitive gestures; Unilateral neglect and related disorders; Cognitive dysfunction in cardiovascular disease and its surgical treatment; Cognitive dysfunction in refractory epilepsy and its surgical treatment; Early detection of Alzheimer's disease; Cerebral reorganization following acquired aphasia; Presurgical determination of language lateralization; Visual hallucinations in Parkinson's disease; Neural correlates of the situation model in language comprehension.
