O’Neill Lab

The O’Neill Lab investigates brain development and cognitive function in children and adolescents with neurodevelopmental conditions. The lab focuses on disorders such as autism spectrum disorder (ASD), ADHD, and anxiety, using behavioral testing and neuroimaging to study attention, social processing, and executive function. A key goal is to understand how brain changes relate to behavioral symptoms over time. The lab’s research informs early identification and targeted interventions. It also contributes to developing evidence-based tools for clinical assessment.
