    Dr. Ullman is Professor in the Department of Neuroscience, with secondary appointments in the Departments of Psychology and Neurology. He is Director of the Brain and Language Lab, and Director of the Georgetown EEG/ERP Laboratory.

    The Brain and Language Lab aims to elucidate how language is learned, represented, and processed in the mind and brain.  We focus especially on understanding how language learning and use depend on evolutionarily ancient learning and memory systems in the brain: declarative memory and procedural memory, which are respectively rooted in the hippocampus and the basal ganglia. We study both native and later-learned language/bilingualism. We are also interested in the neurocognition of math, reading, and music, and whether and how these also depend on the two learning and memory systems. We investigate between and within subject differences in the neurocognition of language and other domains, based on factors such as genetic variation, endocrine fluctuations

    Geo Kartheiser, a second-year student in Gallaudet University’s Ph.D. in Educational Neuroscience Program (PEN), has been awarded the prestigious individual National Research Service Award National Institutes of Health (NIH) graduate, pre-doctoral fellowship. Geo is Dr. Laura-Ann Petitto’s graduate student in her Brain and Language Laboratory for Neuroimaging (BL2).

    The fellowship, often referred to as the F31, was designed to foster mentored research training in health-related fields and promote diversity in the scientific community. It was established in honor of Dr. Ruth Kirschstein, the first woman director of an NIH Institute.

    “We congratulate Geo on this wonderful achievement! This award is a great honor for him and for us at our National Science Foundation Visual Language and Visual Learning Center, as well as an affirmation of Gallaudet University as a top-tier site for significant, impactful research,” said Pettito. “Importantly, it is a wond
