The service neurology focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of diseases of the nervous system (brain, spinal cord, spinal roots, nerves) and muscles.
This research group examines congenital, developmental and neurological language/speech disorders, both from a top-down approach using neuroimaging and from a bottom-up approach studying speech and language in an interactional context. Neuroimaging measures are used for predicting language outcomes in dyslexia and aphasia and for investigating neuroplasticity during language learning. Advanced MRI methods are developed in collaboration with ...
The Estuaries team conducts research and monitoring work in estuaries and their valleys to support ecological aspects of policy on these areas. The ecology of estuaries is central to the accumulation of systemic knowledge, monitoring, the formation of an ecological vision and the development of policy instruments and assessment frameworks. We share the results as widely as possible in reports, advisory papers and scientific publications. ...
