| Project Description |
| The Fetus to Five Study is focused on understanding the development of self-regulation from the prenatal period to age 5. Part of this study is focused on understanding how social experiences shape the development of physiological processes that support cognitive, behavioral, emotional, and physiological self-regulation. Salivary biomarkers are being used to provide a “snapshot” of functioning across a variety of body systems both in the lab and in participating families’ daily lives. |
