Innovation in data science and translational neuroscience to understand brain development and mental illness
RESEARCH
Our research uses advanced analytics to integrate complex brain images and rich behavioral data. Ultimately, we seek to map normal brain development and understand how alterations in brain maturation increase risk of psychiatric illness.

Neighborhood SES and Executive System Function
In this study we found that lower neighborhood-level SES is associated with reduced activation of the executive system, even when controlling for other measures of developmental adversity.

Personalized functional network topography and psychopathology in youth
Leveraging a large sample and advances in machine learning, we demonstrate that functional topography significantly predicts individual differences in diverse dimensions of psychopathology.

Developmental coupling of cerebral blood flow and fMRI fluctuations in youth
We demonstrate that non-invasive imaging proxies of neurovascular coupling in children undergo substantial maturation in youth, with evidence of both prominent sex differences and functional relevance to executive function.
