Research Summary:
Our laboratory employs a developmental approach to studying the neural, cognitive, genetic, and behavioral underpinnings of childhood psychopathology with a particular focus on ADHD, childhood aggression, and other disruptive behavior disorders. Our hope is that such knowledge can be employed to develop preventive interventions for children at heightened risk for difficulties in these domains.
