  In addition to direct clinical work and teaching at the University of Vermont, work in my research laboratory is aimed at studying children with profound self-regulatory problems (dysregulation). We need a better way to understand children who exhibit profound problems with irritable, dysregulated moods who also have problems with attention and behavior. Clinical neuroscience has struggled to adequately characterize these children who have difficulty regulating their affect, behavior, and cognition but who do not meet the criteria for the most severe form of mood dysregulation - pediatric bipolar disorder. The most fundamental questions about these children remain. How are these children different from children with bipolar disorder? What are the neuroscientific pathways associated with the development of self-regulation? How does dysregulation look throughout the lifespan? How can we characterize these children in a developmentally sensitive and specific way? What are underlying genetic and environmental influences on self-regulation and how do they interact?Our lab uses a multi-method approach, funded by NIH and private foundations, to answer these questions. There are studies specifically designed towards phenotypic definition using statistical models of dimensional and categorical approaches. Psychophysiological studies are being performed using eye movement and heart rate variability monitoring. Genetic and environmental contributions to this phenotype are being investigated using behavioral genetic and statistical/molecular genetic approaches. Neuroimaging is being performed with our colleagues in Rotterdam, McGill and Washington University. Epigenetic studies are ongoing. Intervention and prevention studies have begun. In all, we aim to characterize the most difficult to manage children in child psychiatry clinics and to provide clinicians with options for prevention and intelligent intervention. Show less
