Dr. Galaburda’s research explores the brain underpinnings of language and language based learning disabilities. His earlier work focuses on structural manifestations and the development of cerebral asymmetries, as well as on the neuronatomical organization of the auditory system in primates, including humans. His current research, which has evolved over the past two decades, looks at the brain basis of developmental dyslexia within a multidisciplinary research program that includes genetics, cell and molecular biology, neuroanatomy, neurophysiology, neuroimaging, and behavior in animal models of abnormal development of the cerebral cortex.
