Joanna A. Christodoulou, EdD, works at the intersection of education and neuroscience. Her program of research, conducted at MIT in the Gabrieli Lab and at MGH Institute of Health Professions, focuses on brain and behavior correlates of development, difficulties, and intervention effects for reading. This session at the 2017 Pediatric Epilepsy Surgery Conference and Family Reunion focuses on the brain circuits involved in reading and how they are impacted after hemispherectomy surgery. The Brain Recovery Project is now the Pediatric Epilepsy Surgery Alliance.
