Research Synopsis:

Dr. Crosbie’s research and clinical work are focused on understanding the neurobiological determinants of childhood neuropsychiatric disorders, with a particular focus on attention-deficit/ hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). An overarching objective of her work involves investigating the behavioural, cognitive and genetic architecture of ADHD and related neuropsychiatric disorders. Four integrated domains of research create the foundation of her research: 1) Cognition and behavioural phenomenology using cross sectional and longitudinal methods; 2) Understanding genetic etiology; 3) Utilizing general population samples to investigate the relationship of genes and environment; and 4) Development of novel cognitive rehabilitation interventions.
