Clinical Neuroscience and Development Laboratory

Welcome to the Clinical Neuroscience and Development Laboratory (CNDLAB)

The CNDLAB, under the direction of Dr. Michael Stevens, variously focuses on several psychiatric disorders commonly seen in pediatric groups, including Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder, Major Depressive Disorder, Conduct Disorder, and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder. To better understand how abnormalities of brain structure and function may contribute to these illnesses, the laboratory employs functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), electrophysiological recordings of event-related potentials (ERPs), neuropsychological assessment, brain structure analysis (including diffusion tensor imaging) and genetic analysis techniques.

Areas of Research Interest

• Neural network correspondence with cognition and behavior.
• Functional Neuroimaging intermediate phenotypes marking risk for psychiatric illness.
• Developmental changes to brain function that increase or decrease risk for mental illnesses.

We work in conjunction with the COBBRA Lab and the VR Lab at the ONRC, and in various collaborations, specifically with active collaborations with colleagues at the Yale University School of Medicine, University of Connecticut, and MIND Institute at the University of New Mexico.
