About Us:

The Developmental Cognitive Neuroscience (DCN) Lab at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln is a dynamic, interdisciplinary team of faculty, staff, and students conducting research broadly focused on the interplay between development and health. The lab’s work integrates developmental, neuroscience, health, and systems perspectives to better understand key health behaviors (e.g., diet, sleep, physical activity, substance use) and outcomes (e.g., obesity, psychopathology) during critical periods of development, with a particular emphasis on the role of regulation processes. Current research in the lab is funded by NIH (R01DK125651, 2R01DK116693) and involves a variety of data collection modalities including fMRI, bioimpedance, actigraphy, multiple 24-hour dietary recall, questionnaires, and environmental geocoding. The DCN Lab is affiliated with the Center for Brain, Biology and Behavior, a hub for interdisciplinary neuroscience research, which features a new 3 Tesla Cima.X MRI scanner.
