Lynn K. Paul
Senior Research Scientist
Profile
Lynn Paul's research is broadly focused on understanding the role that cortical connectivity plays in development of higher-order social cognition and the brain's capacity for reorganization during development. Utilizing eye-tracking, standardized neuropsychological instruments, and experimental behavioral paradigms in combination with neuroimaging, Dr. Paul's work aims to understand how brain structure and function are adapted to compensate for developmental and acquired brain lesions, what limitations remain in spite of these adaptations, and how these factors in combination may contribute to long-term deficits in learning, social cognition, emotion processing, and long-term adaptive functioning.
She has ongoing neuroimaging and behavioral studies with several unique populations, notably people with congenital malformations of the corpus callosum (ACC / DCC), adults who had hemispherectomy during childhood, and adults with autism spectrum disorders (ASD). She is currently conducting the first prospective longitudinal study of infants with callosal agenesis, funded by the National Institutes of Health.
Dr. Paul is the founding president of the International Research Consortium for the Corpus Callosum and Cerebral Connectivity (IRC5), a multi-disciplinary
