Research Focus

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and related neurodevelopmental disorders

Brief Research Description

Dr. Arnett’s laboratory investigates brain-behavior associations leading to atypical neurodevelopment among children. Research initiatives have included investigations of neurocognitive and genetic etiologies of ADHD, learning disorders and autism; as well as single gene disorders associated with neurodevelopmental disorders. The Arnett Lab hopes to identify a neurobiological marker that could lead to earlier ADHD diagnosis, preventative interventions, and precision medicine care for affected families.
