The ABCD study is the largest long-term study of brain development and child health in the United States. The ABCD Research Consortium consists of a Coordinating Center, a Data Informatics and Analysis Center, and 21 research sites across the country, which have recruited and are following nearly 12,000 children ages 9-10 into early adulthood. At our research site located at Yale University, we have recruited and are following over 630 youth. More information about the study can be found here: https://abcdstudy.org/.

Psychopathology peaks during adolescence, when there is significant neurocognitive and socioemotional development. Our research focuses on how youth with psychopathology visually perceive their social and emotional world. We are using representational similarity analysis of functional MRI data to examine how neural representations of socioemotional cues differ in youth with and without psychopathologies.
