“Long-lasting effects of psychotropic drugs during human brain development”

“My research looks into the possible long-lasting effects of psychotropic drug treatment (methylphenidate and SSRIs) on brain development. Using neurochemical imaging (1H-MRS) we will try to reveal the long-lasting changes these psychotropic medications induce on different neurotransmitter systems (particularly GABA) and cognitive behavior.”
