Advancing knowledge of human development, developmental disabilities, and neurodegenerative diseases.
Autistic children experience high rates of feeding challenges, negatively affecting their health, eating patterns, and social eating experiences.
The Quantitative Brain Imaging Technology Laboratory at the University of Wisconsin – Madison is recruiting infants and young children between 1 and 24 months of age for a research study aimed to develop new brain imaging methods to assess brain development. Participation in this study may consist of either one or two visits to the Waisman Center. …
Memory impairment as a result of a traumatic brain injury (TBI) has long been associated solely with the hippocampus, the brain’s learning and memory center. However, new research published in the journal Brain Imaging and Behavior, reveals that the hippocampus is not acting alone.
Probing how human neural networks operate is hindered by the lack of reliable human neural tissues amenable to the dynamic functional assessment of neural circuits.
Matt Zammit, PhD, Waisman scientist in the Brain Imaging Core, and affiliate investigator Erik Dent, PhD, are both winners of UW-Madison’s Cool Science Image Contest.
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a leading cause of death and disability in children, and predicting functional outcome after TBI is challenging.
A big part about turning 18 is planning ahead and setting yourself up for success in adulthood. Whether that be what to study, where to go to college, or deciding to start in the workforce right away, these choices alone can be overwhelming. For youth with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) although the list might …
Language users rely on both linguistic and conceptual processing abilities to efficiently comprehend or produce language.
The lab focuses on studying how infants and young children learn language, learn the meaning of words, find patterns in language and track the properties of speech.
Autistic adults experience challenges in maintaining employment; however, little is known about patterns of competitive employment through late midlife. This longitudinal study examined the change in hours of competitive employment for a cohort of autistic adults over a 22-year period.
