Research Focus
Dr. Brandon E Gibb's lab investigates how maternal depression affects young children's emotional development, particularly their attention to sad faces. By studying how children of mothers with depression react to various emotional cues, the lab aims to uncover mechanisms that may increase the risk of depression in these children as they grow older. The research includes both observational studies and physiological measures to assess children’s responses and interactions with their mothers over time.
