Translational & Developmental Neuroscience Laboratory

The TaDLab is a laboratory in the Psychology Department at the University of Michigan, directed by Dr. Christopher Monk.

Welcome to the TaDLab!


The TaDLab is a collaborative research environment dedicated to examining affective-cognitive processes during adolescent development. Behavioral and neuroimaging methods are employed to better understand how these processes contribute to normal development or risk for psychopathology. Recent projects aim to identify environmental factors associated with affective-cognitive development and increased risk for internalizing disorders.
