Welcome to the page for the lab of Dr. Lauren Bylsma! Currently, we are wrapping up our Youth Emotion and Brain study as well as beginning our Microbiome, Stress and Reward Study. Our lab focuses on analyzing youth and adolescents at risk for Depression in order to assisst in the later development of Depression interventions. We are also interested in both the microbiological and neural indicies of Depression and just how the mind and the body interact to potentially influence one's mood and emotional responses to Reward.

To be eligible for our study, you would have to the biological parent of a 9-15 year old child. For more information, please email us at yebs@pitt.edu or give us a call at (412)-383-8030.
