Project Description:

There is a public health concern regarding the 100-200% increase in mortality rate in adolescence contributed to by risk-taking behavior and the vulnerability to the emergence of major psychopathology including mood disorders and schizophrenia. The proposed project uses an innovative multimodal neuroimaging approach to identify the neural processes underlying cognitive control and emotion that are immature in adolescence and therefore vulnerable to impairments and has the potential to inform treatment, educational, and parenting approaches.
