Language development and perinatal stroke, with Elissa Newport
11/23/21 • 70 min
In this episode, I talk with Elissa Newport, Professor of Neurology and Rehabilitation Medicine at Georgetown University Medical Center, about her work on the neural and cognitive underpinnings of language development, including statistical learning, language after perinatal stroke, lateralization, plasticity, the critical period, and more.

Imaging the language network, with Cathy Price
In this episode, I talk with Cathy Price, Professor of Cognitive Neuroscience and Director of the Wellcome Trust Centre for Neuroimaging at University College London, about her pioneering work on functional neuroimaging of the language network, whether there are really such things as “language regions”, degeneracy, predicting and explaining language outcomes after stroke, and more.

The Language Neuroscience Podcast - Language development and perinatal stroke, with Elissa Newport
Transcript
Welcome to Episode 17 of the language neuroscience Podcast. I'm Stephen Wilson and I'm a neuroscientist at Vanderbilt University Medical Center. If you're a regular listener, I apologize for the delay between episodes. It's been a busy semester, and I'm sure that everybody can empathize. But I hope you'll agree that this episode is worth the wait. My guest today is a living legend of our field, Elissa Newport, Professor of Neurology and reha
