Cognitive & Behavioral Neuroscience

Cognitive and behavioral neuroscience examines how brain function influences learning, memory, attention, executive functioning, emotions, and behavior in autistic individuals. Research in this field helps explain differences in cognition, decision-making, emotional regulation, and social behavior while supporting the development of effective interventions that improve learning, communication, and adaptive functioning.
