Early Life Adversity, Biological Embedding (eLABE) and Risk for Developmental Precursors of Mental Disorders

We partnered with the March of Dimes to work on a study called eLABE (Early Life Adversity, Biological Embedding, and Risk for Developmental Precursors of Mental Disorders), which examines how experiences during pregnancy and early in life affects mothers, caregivers, and children’s brain development and well-being. Here we focus on the effects of early life adversity on brain, emotion regulation and cognitive control outcomes relevant to risk for mental disorders, beginning antenatally and extending to age 8. We are not currently enrolling participants in this study.
