Neurobehavioral Unit

The Neurobehavioral Unit allows investigators of varying backgrounds to design clinical trials and research studies with endpoints that have the highest likelihood of showing a reliable signal or meaningful outcome. We help investigators conduct measurements of cognitive and developmental phenotypes or endophenotypes of neuronal integrity in infants, children and adults. We offer in-depth expertise in neuropsychological assessment and innovative research into the application of these techniques.
