This scientific and clinical team is organized around a common research aim: to advance the state of knowledge about this illness so that more effective treatments can be developed.

There are six areas of study towards which research efforts will be directed:

Clinical Phenomenology – Diagnosis and Temperamental Features
Neuropsychology - Cognitive deficits/neural circuits
Neuroimaging - Activation paradigms for fMRI studies of fronto-striatal pathways
Neuroendocrinology – Hormonal and neuropeptide markers/circadian rhythms
Chronobiology – Circadian activity, thermoregulatory, sleep propensity, rhythms
Molecular Genetics - Candidate gene studies, genotyping of behavioral traits
