The Plasticity in Neurodevelopment (PINE) Lab explores how different environments and neuroplasticity interact to shape brain and behavior development. We are interested in how typical environment-neuroplasticity interactions support healthy development, as well as how adverse environments or atypical neuroplasticity processes in neurodevelopmental disorders like Autism impact development. Using this framework, we aim to understand the developmental mechanisms driving healthy, resilient, or maladaptive outcomes across individuals. We work across, and compare, multiple socioemotional domains, including perception, language, and emotion regulation.
