The Laboratory for Child Brain Development is part of the Washington University School of Medicine’s Department of Psychiatry (child and adolescent division). We are interested in the development of the child brain from birth to early and middle childhood. Most of our studies focus on neural mechanisms for emotional and cognitive development in young children using multi-modal neuroimaging techniques. Our studies include both typically-developing children and children presenting with various forms of psychopathology (e.g. ADHD, Depression, Anxiety, Autism Spectrum Disorder), recruited through local child clinics. Our current research focuses on emotional development, psychopathology, and early life stress in children 3-10 years old.
