Their recent publications provide insight into key areas of developmental neuroscience and brain function. Notable papers include:

  • "Brain charts for the human lifespan" (2022), published in Nature
  • "Correspondence Between Perceived Pubertal Development and Hormone Levels in 9-10 Year-Olds From the Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development Study" (2021), published in Frontiers in Endocrinology
  • "Baseline brain function in the preadolescents of the ABCD Study" (2021), published in Nature Neuroscience
  • "Demographic and mental health assessments in the adolescent brain and cognitive development study: Updates and age-related trajectories" (2021), published in Developmental Cognitive Neuroscience
  • "Rates of Incidental Findings in Brain Magnetic Resonance Imaging in Children" (2021), published in JAMA Neurology

Their research topics cover:

  • Functional Brain Connectivity Studies
  • Child and Adolescent Psychosocial and Emotional Development
  • Health, Environment, Cognitive Aging
  • Birth, Development, and Health
  • Cognitive Abilities and Testing
  • Hypothalamic control of reproductive hormones
  • Sexual Differentiation and Disorders
