I am a PhD Student in the Lemanic Neuroscience Doctoral School, affiliated with UniGE and UniFR. I am interested in the neural and cognitive changes occurring in language development and language learning, with a particular focus on multilingualism. I am fascinated by the investigation of functional and structural connectivity in the brain and one of my main interest entails how broader neural networks, comprising cortical and subcortical areas, participate in language and reading abilities.Email: Irene [dot] Balboni [at] unifr [dot] ch
