Stanford Neurodevelopment Affect and Psychopathology Laboratory
Welcome to the SNAP Lab!
In the broadest sense, our research focuses on mood disorders. Study focuses include:
- Attentional and memory biases in the processing of emotional information
- Neural substrates of emotional dysfunction in depression and anxiety using fMRI
- Cognitive and biological mechanisms that underlie the development, and intergenerational transmission, of psychopathology in children and adolescents
