Funded Activity Summary

Brain injuries during early childhood may evolve over time, with long-lasting consequences on one's ability to socially interact with others. In this study, we hypothesise that social behaviour problems result from damage to white matter tracts in the immature brain. By using a unique model of brain injury in young mice, plus advanced imaging and behavioural methods, we will provide new understanding about the cause of social problems, and evaluate a rehabilitation approach to improve outcomes.
