Neuroimaging for Language, Literacy & Learning Laboratory


NL3 seeks to improve our understanding of the language, literacy and learning processes in the brain. Our research team uses brain imaging techniques to learn about neural plasticity and brain development. Our primary focus is early learning.

Optimizing Learning

Have you ever wondered what’s going on inside your brain when you’re learning something new?

While our understanding of brain development has advanced significantly over the past 30 years, we are just beginning to identify brain-based factors that affect its development. In order to truly understand what causes learning and thinking differences, we must take a deeper look at the brain.

Nebraska’s Neuroimaging for Language, Literacy and Learning Laboratory (NL3) is focused on using brain imaging technology to expand our knowledge of brain plasticity and development, with the goal to optimize learning for all children.
