ENIGMA-Language (ENIGMA-LANG) is a new working group aiming to focus on the neurobiology of language, one of the most fundamental traits of our species, in order to investigate associations between brain structure, genotype and language measures. This will be investigated in both directions, including how brain structure and genetics predict performance in language tasks, but also how cognitively challenging linguistic experiences, e.g., bi/multilingualism, can affect the structure of the brain.

Our call for participation is open!

We are actively searching for international collaborators to join ENIGMA-Language!
