Summary

  • I am a developmental cognitive neuroscientist who uses neuroimaging and behavioral tools to investigate the development of the brain’s functional network architecture in both typically and atypically developing populations. I am particularly interested in language (reading) and executive control.

    I am a Pediatric Movement Disorders specialist and see patients with Tourette syndrome (and other chronic tic disorders), dystonia, chorea, tremor, myoclonus, and other movement disorders.
