Developmental Psychopathology
Interactions of genes and environment can produce molecular and cellular disturbances in the brain, disturbances that may ultimately disrupt the brain functions that make us uniquely human. Such disturbances underlie the neuropsychiatric disorders that can profoundly and irrevocably derail child development.
With the advent of powerful new research techniques, we are entering an era in which we can legitimately hope to identify and understand the genetic and environmental factors that lead to disordered development. Every day we are moving a step closer to the possibility of truly effective treatments that address fundamental symptoms of the most debilitating neuropsychiatric disorders in children.
Some of our discoveries were unimaginable even a few years ago. To maintain and enhance the resources — personnel and technology — that are so vital to our work, we must look to the generous support of those who share our desire and commitment to see more advanced treatments, and perhaps even cures, for the diseases and conditions that we are fighting. Such support has been the key to our most significant achievements.
