Unlocking the Impact of Trauma

The Jovanovic lab focuses on urban trauma exposure, fear conditioning, brain development, and post-traumatic stress disorder in adults and children. Using the measures listed below, we are able to investigate the effects of trauma in order to better comprehend the mechanisms through which posttraumatic symptomatology develops. Our proposed research also examines critical periods for trauma-related correlates of brain development.
