July 18, 2024
Lucres Nauta-Jansen shared insights in Trouw about the largest study so far on Conduct Disorder (CD), revealing differences in the brains of children with CD.
While the connection between brain structure and behavioral issues in CD is now evident, Nauta-Jansen emphasizes in Trouw that to determine the cause and effect, it’s crucial to study children more frequently and over extended periods during their development to understand when and why these brain changes happen.
About Lucres Nauta-Jansen
Lucres’ research focuses on the development of antisocial and delinquent behavior in children and adolescents. Main aim is to unravel the neurobiological mechanisms that, in interaction with other individual and environmental factors, may explain the development, persistence and effectiveness of treatment of antisocial and delinquent behavior in children and adolescents. Projects involve studies on antisocial and delinquent adolescents in juvenile justice institutions, closed youth care and other groups of children and adolescents that are (at risk of) getting into contact with the police.
