Brain function requires proper networking and communication between neurons. Brain development is a complex process that involves the movement and proper connectivity of neurons. Mutations in certain genes lead to improper neuron movement and brain development that often lead to severe learning disabilities in children. We are studying a specific pathway that controls one aspect […]

Prof. Kibbe’s research focuses on how infants, children, and adults represent information about objects (e.g. perceptual features, animacy, group statistics, numerosity, verbal labels). Prof. Kibbe’s lab also looks at the kinds of computations we can do with these representations, the ways in which we use these representations to guide behavior, and how cognitive systems (such […]

Our approach leverages behavioral, systems, and molecular neuroscience techniques to examine the cognitive and neurodevelopmental underpinnings of affective regulation. Our mission is to take a multi-level approach to neuroscience, setting a solid foundation in learning theory and behavioral assays upon which to apply ever-advancing neuroscience techniques to address a critical gap in knowledge regarding the […]

The overall aims of the research conducted in our center address questions about the phenotypic characteristics of the language, communication, and associated social-cognitive deficits in autism (ASD) and other neurodevelopmental disorders. We have three ongoing lines of research: 1) investigating the early behavioral and brain developmental trajectories in infants at risk for autism (in collaboration […]

My research focuses on the effects of early experiences on the neural and behavioral development of infants and young children. In particular, I examine the ways in which early life stress shapes the developing brain as well as the neurodevelopmental mechanisms that link early life stress to child outcomes. Using electroencephalogram (EEG) measures, I identify […]
