Kristin Sullwold
I am a 4th year graduate student in Dr. Luciana's lab. I am interested in neurobehavioral development and how it relates to psychopathology in adolescents. I am currently conducting a study that examines how the structural and functional development of the anterior cingulum contributes to the development of inhibitory control and response conflict monitoring in adolescents. I am also interested in how these behaviors may be impacted by psychopathology and personality traits such as constraint and negative emotionality.
