RG Developmental Clinical Neurophysiology in Childhood and Adolescence

We focus on how developing brain function and structure in children and adolescents are altered in ADHD (Attention Deficit-/ Hyperactivity Disorder) and comorbid disruptive disorders or in Autism Spectrum Disorders. We track the longitudinal course of markers for risk, resilience and remission or persistence across the lifespan, and develop personalized innovative neurofeedback and biofeedback approaches for targeted treatment. Advanced multimodal (EEG-fMRI) imaging is used for an improved mechanistic understanding of childhood risks and gene x environment interactions, and to identify brain-based treatment predictors and transdiagnostic or disorder-specific markers.
