Projects
Address sex-specific NVS (reactive aggression) and CS (different dimensions of psychopathy, proactive aggression) associated risk factors, and risk factor-based biosignatures in young people. Considering the interacting genetic, environmental, and hormonal factors related to these specific aggressive behavior dimensions, C04 will identify specific and shared factors and mechanisms related to NVS and CS in female and male youth with and without pathological aggression.
Publications
Neurodevelopmental conditions, such as autism, are highly heterogeneous at both the mechanistic and phenotypic levels. Therefore, parsing heterogeneity is vital for uncovering underlying processes that could inform the development of targeted, personalized support.
