Research

Terry Jernigan’s research has focused on brain development and aging, neurodevelopmental disorders, neuropsychiatric and substance use disorders, and neurodegenerative disorders.

For the last decade her central research interest has been the developing human mind and brain, with a focus on the dynamic neurodevelopmental processes that give rise to human
individuality—and on how these processes are affected by experience, substance exposure, genetic variation, and other factors.
