Jed Elison is the Irving B. Harris Professor of Child Development at the Institute of Child Development, University of Minnesota. He trained in development psychology at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and social neuroscience at the California Institute of Technology. His research examines basic developmental processes that contribute to individual differences in social communication during the infant and toddler period.
In this presentation, he will contextualize some of his work within the broader field of Developmental Cognitive Neuroscience over the past decade, highlighting key findings from the Infant Brain Imaging Study (IBIS) Network and the UNC/UMN Baby Connectome Project. He will discuss in greater depth his research on infants with congenital agenesis of the corpus callosum, exploring its implications for neurodevelopment and cognitive functioning. Additionally, he will outline future directions in the field, including a brief introduction to the Healthy Brain and Cognitive Development (HBCD) Study.
