Elena Plante has been conducting neuroimaging research for over 10 years. Her work is currently funded by grants from the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders and the National Institute on Aging. Ongoing research involves morphometric analysis of structural MRI scans, fMRI studies of language in normal and impaired subjects, and electro physiologic correlates of processing in normal and language/learning disabled subjects. Dr. Plante's lab supports structural and functional MRI studies that examine issues related to normal language processing or brain correlates of language disorders. Electro physiologic studies are conducted in collaboration with the Van Petten ERP lab (Cyma Van Petten, Ph.D., principle investigator). Elena Plante is also a senior faculty member of the National Center for Neurogenic Communication Disorders.
