About the Developing Brain Imaging Lab
Research Statement: The Developing Brain Imaging Lab is dedicated to advancing knowledge about early brain and child development. We combine aspects of neuroscience, psychology, cognitive science and genetics with advanced neuroimaging techniques to discover how the brain develops as we grow and learn and to assess how environmental and genetic factors influence early neurodevelopment. We are particularly interested in understanding how the trajectory of brain development may differ in individuals with intellectual and developmental disorders, like autism spectrum disorders (ASD), and when neurodevelopmental differences first begin to emerge.
