Dr. Corbett's Social Emotional NeuroScience Endocrinology (SENSE) lab characterizes the behavioral and biological profiles of children with autism. These interrelated studies utilize several methods of analysis including sophisticated behavioral observation, analysis of social and stress hormones, and functional MRI. Results from these studies are revealing meaningful associations between the child’s behavior, biological profiles and neural substrates before, during and after social interactions. Subsequently, the ultimate hope is that these results will better inform our understanding of autism to allow us to provide individualized biological and behavioral treatments. Additionally, Dr. Corbett is extending these approaches to investigate the biological and neuropsychological profiles of Tourette syndrome and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). As part of the SENSE approach, Dr. Corbett is committed to designing a program of translational research that will lead to enhanced assessment and treatment of the socioemotional capabilities of children with autism. In the process, she continues to expand research and clinical applications of video and computer modeling while considering biological approaches to treat children with autism. She is a licensed clinical psychologist.
