Located at the Sainte-Justine University Hospital (CHU Sainte-Justine) in Montreal, the Neurodevelopmental Optical Imaging Laboratory (LION) was founded in 2013 and is directed by Dr. Anne Gallagher, Associate Professor at the Department of Psychology of Université de Montréal. Research in the lab focuses on cerebral and cognitive development from birth to adulthood.
We are interested in the development and reorganization of language functions in the healthy brain, but also in children and adolescents with various clinical conditions, such as premature birth, epilepsy or congenital heart disease.
