Adolescent Brain and Cognitive Development (ABCD) Study | Brain and Behavioral Processes Laboratory

The University of Minnesota is a performance site for the 21-site ABCD Consortium (www.abcdstudy.org), which has enrolled nearly 12,000 families. Together with Professor Bill Iacono who co-directs the Minnesota Center for Twin and Family Research, Monica Luciana oversees the University of Minnesota’s ABCD performance site, which is following singletons and twins, ages 9-10.
