Valeria Montorsi (University of Bolonha) has finished her very successful Erasmus internship at our lab. Thank you Valeria!

Call for participation in this new Research Topic: fro.ntiers.in/RT76308

This study proposes a new digital workflow for the manufacturing and use of a modified palatal plate to improve oral morphology and auditory-motor language abilities in infants with Down Syndrome.

Thank you for making NEUROD-WELL 2025 a success!!! See you all at the next edition of the workshop 😃

Final session with our second keynote speaker: domain-general sensory and motor constraints on early learning.

Poster session with contributions on word learning and linguistic trajectories in autism, word imitation on DLD, prosodic abilities in dyslexia, and language in children with posterior fossa tumors.

Special session on the perception-production link in early infancy.

The second session was devoted to prosody and syntax in autism and developmental language disorder.

The first oral session included presentations on early EEG markers in language and learning impairment (Chiara Cantiani and colleagues) and preoperative speech impairment in children with posterior fossa tumors (Rida Ahmed and colleagues).

NeuroD-WELL 2025 has just started with the first keynote speaker. Stay tuned!

Sónia Frota was the international invited speaker at the Second SoundStart Symposium, University of Utrecht.
