DESCRIPTION:A talk by Dr. Pascale Tremblay - Associate Professor\, Rehabili
 tation Sciences - Laval University\n\nAging of speech functions in singers
  and non-singers\n\nDespite the importance of speaking on communication an
 d social interactions throughout the entire lifespan\, little is known abo
 ut the neuromotor and neurocognitive mechanisms that underlie age-related 
 changes in speech production and how this affects communication. In this t
 alk\, I will present recent work from my lab that explored the impact of a
 ging on speech and voice production. I will also describe the neurobiologi
 cal mechanisms that underlie these changes\, focusing on neuroplasticity. 
 Finally\, the moderating impact of singing on voice and speech production 
 in aging will also be discussed.\n\nBiography:\n\nPascale Tremblay is asso
 ciate professor in Rehabilitation Sciences at Université Laval in Québec C
 ity\, Canada\, researcher at the CERVO Brain Research Center and holder of
  a Chercheur-boursier Junior 2 career award from the FRQS.\n	\n	Dr. Tremblay
  is co-director of the Quebec City brain imaging Consortium (CINQ)\, and c
 o-founder of the Society for the Neurobiology of Language (SNL). Her labor
 atory\, the Speech and hearing Neurosciences Laboratory (www.speechneurola
 b.ca)\, focuses on understanding the behavioural and neural substrates of 
 speech/voice perception and production in adulthood and throughout aging u
 sing cognitive neurosciences methods.\n	\n	Her research combines high-end br
 ain imaging methods\, such as structural\, functional and diffusion-weight
 ed imaging\, brain stimulation methods and carefully designed experimental
  manipulations. Current work is focused on identifying the factors that af
 fect speech functions in aging\, including neurocognitive and sensorimotor
  aging and on strategies that can alleviate age-related changes to human c
 ommunication such as singing though experience-induced brain plasticity.\n
