| His research interests concern primarily the applications of neuroimaging to the study of serious childhood neuropsychiatric disorders, including Tourette syndrome, ADHD, OCD, Autism, Bipolar Disorder, Depression, prenatal toxin exposure, and premature birth. His imaging studies integrate measures of brain structure and function with genetic, neurochemical, behavioral, neuropsychological, and clinical measures to define disease processes and therapeutic responses in large samples of children and adults. He is using neuroimaging techniques to study the effects on brain structure and function of various treatment modalities, including psychoanalysis, psychodynamically oriented psychotherapies, behavioral therapies, and medication.
