Our group researches how language skills and brain regions are impacted by neurological conditions and how they reorganize in response.

In particular, we research two syndromes: Primary Progressive Aphasia and Dyslexia.Dr. Gorno Tempini is also co-director of the UCSF Dyslexia Center and the UCSF|UC Berkeley Schwab Center for Dyslexia and Cognitive Diversity. These centers aim to eliminate the debilitating effects of developmental dyslexia while supporting the relative strengths of each individual.
