Neuroscience and Psychopathology of Language have experienced significant advances thanks to the integration of technologies such as functional neuroimaging and Artificial Intelligence. These tools have enabled a more accurate understanding of the brain mechanisms involved in language disorders such as Aphasia, Dyslexia, and Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD).

This is how this Postgraduate diploma was created, whose content will include the study of the main structures of the central and peripheral nervous systems, with an emphasis on their role in communication processes. Likewise, the neurobiological bases of language and speech will be addressed, with an analysis of the brain areas involved in their production, comprehension, and motor control. The interactions between the sensory and motor structures responsible for speech production will not be overlooked, providing an anatomical and functional overview that is essential for clinical practice.

Physicians will also be trained in the use of diagnostic tests and in explaining advanced research techniques in language neuropsychology. In addition, the design of appropriate interventions will be encouraged based on the analysis of linguistic profiles and interdisciplinary data, ensuring comprehensive and personalized care for each case.

Finally, diagnostic assessment techniques and the preparation of comprehensive speech therapy reports will be explored in depth for intervention in various contexts, such as family, school, and clinical settings, using strategies and resources tailored to the needs of patients. This will also include the planning, implementation, and assessment of therapeutic programs that promote the improvement and recovery of affected language functions.
