Neural-behavioral interactions are studied during normal development of motor and cognitive systems, and following perinatal nervous system injury/abnormality. Normal and brain injured (hypoxia-ischemia) neonatal rodents and humans are studied behaviorally and with MRI technology to investigate neural-behavioral interactions during normal and abnormal brain development, and development of neural-behavioral protective treatments.
