My laboratory is striving to understand how the patterns of neuronal connections form in the developing brain and how these underpin the functions of the brain throughout life. We use high-field magnetic resonance imaging to measure brain wiring and we investigate the genetic and environmental mechanisms causing developmental brain disorders that result in intellectual disability, autism, epilepsy and some mental illnesses.

我的实验室正在努力了解神经元连接的模式如何在发育中的大脑中形成，以及这些模式如何支撑大脑在整个生命过程中的功能。我们使用高场磁共振成像来测量大脑布线，并调查导致智力残疾，自闭症，癫痫和一些精神疾病的发育性大脑障碍的遗传和环境机制。
