Discover Our Work

Welcome to the Interdisciplinary Neuroscience for Social Development  

– Lab at Georgia State 

Our lab focuses on the development of social behaviors and brains during adolescence. We systematically investigate the longitudinal trajectories, predictors, and implications of social development using multiple methods (behavior, survey, and neuroimaging). 

About

INSD Lab

Our lab’s interdisciplinary research aims to understand how adolescents’ developing brains intersect with various social contexts to contribute to the enormous individual differences in social behaviours and health-related outcomes during adolescence. We use methods and perspectives from different fields including computational neuroscience, developmental psychology, social psychology, and clinical psychology. We welcome all scientists from different fields to collaborate with us and families from all backgrounds to join us!
