Overview

Sarah Durston is affiliated with Utrecht University in the Netherlands. Their research spans multiple interconnected fields with a primary focus on neuroscience and medicine, particularly cognitive neuroscience, clinical psychology, psychiatry and mental health, genetics, and pediatrics, perinatology, and child health.

Their work covers a range of topics predominantly within neurodevelopmental and psychiatric conditions. Main research themes include:

Autism Spectrum Disorder Research
Functional Brain Connectivity Studies
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder
Obsessive-Compulsive Spectrum Disorders
Genetics and Neurodevelopmental Disorders
Advanced Neuroimaging Techniques and Applications
Fetal and Pediatric Neurological Disorders

Durston has published extensively in several scientific venues, with frequent publications in:

bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory)
Molecular Autism
