DEVELOPMENTAL NEUROIMAGING LAB

The Lebel lab is a multidisciplinary environment that is rich in neuropsychology, neuroscience, imaging, language, and child development expertise... Our laboratory uses different magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) techniques to study brain structure and function in children. These techniques include diffusion tensor imaging (DTI), anatomical imaging, quantitative susceptibility mapping (QSM), and resting state functional MRI (rsfMRI). Specifically, members of our lab are interested in using these techniques to investigate brain plasticity in response to learning, treatment, or intervention, and brain maturation in children with developmental disorders such as fetal alcohol spectrum disorder (FASD) and autism spectrum disorder (ASD). The overarching goal of the research in our lab is to provide a better understanding of brain structure, function, and plasticity with the hope of improving, delivering, and monitoring treatment for children with learning and behavioral challenges.
