Achievement

Our "breadth mentorship" and team-based models of training are succeeding in opening new lines of trainee-led research. A partial list: [1] a mouse-model study investigating the genetic and neurobiological bases of Autism led by Fellow Castelluccio [Clinical Psych.], bringing together Associate Trainees Rendall and Truong [Behavioral Neuroscience (BNS)] and Investigators Fitch [BNS] and Eigsti [Clinical Psych.]; [2] comparative study of mouse and human infants with potential to yield new insights into genetic and neurobiological bases of the development of auditory sensitivity led by Fellow Shaw [Developmental Psych.] bringing together Investigators Bortfeld [Dev. Psych] and Read [BNS]; [3] electroencephalographic and genetic analyses of impaired and unimpaired children in a remote Russian village with high incidence of language impairment led by Associate Trainee Kornilov [Perception-Action-Cognition] and bringing together Investigators Magnuson [PAC] and Grigorenko [Yale/Haskins]).
