Research interest

My research interest focuses on the effects of maternal stress on brain development of the offspring e.g., neurogenesis, neural migration, axonal growth, and synapse formation. Recent work focuses on the roles of the placenta barrier in modulating the effects of maternal stress on brain development to understand the underlying mechanism of neurodevelopmental disorders and the possibility of reprogramming. 
 
Another research interest focuses on factors that affect the development of executive function (EF) and self-regulation (SR) in children to adolescents. Our expertise is in measuring EF/SR in young children with the national norms. The ultimate goal is to apply cognitive neuroscience to guide parents and teachers for better child care and education and to improve Thai children’s school learning outcomes.
