Location
Fort Worth, TX, US
The Centanni Lab at Texas Christian University (TCU), also known as the Genetics of Auditory and Visual Perception and Plasticity (GAPP) Lab, was founded with a mission to advance the understanding of auditory and visual perception, particularly in the context of language and reading. The lab's core focus includes studying genetic influences on communication disorders and exploring neural plasticity during interventions. By employing various models, the Centanni Lab aims to uncover the biological mechanisms underlying communication impairments.
Led by notable researchers in the field, the Centanni Lab has garnered attention for its contributions to understanding the genetic and neural bases of auditory and visual processing. The lab's work has significant implications for developing targeted interventions for communication disorders, potentially improving outcomes for individuals affected by these conditions. Through its innovative research, the Centanni Lab continues to impact both academic circles and practical applications in speech and language pathology.
