Dr. Telzer Awarded NIH Grant
The DSN Lab is excited to announce that Dr. Telzer has received a grant from the National Institutes of Health to investigate how infant-mother attachment is related to the integration of neural networks in the first year of life. This project will include longitudinal brain scans of infants and will be conducted in collaboration with Dr. Nancy McElwain at the University of Illinois at Champaign-Urbana. Congratulations Dr. McElwain and Dr. Telzer!
Welcome to the Lab Virnaliz!
