Anderson Lab
Neurochemical analyses for the investigation of atypical development and the bioeffects of psychopharmacological agents.
Autism and Neurodevelopment
Several YCSC research groups focus on how the social brain develops and how infants and children learn about the social world, including those with developmental disorders. Autism and neurodevelopment researchers integrate eye tracking, dense-array electroencephalography, neuroimaging, and more to understand the developmental trajectory of social cognition.
