Brain and Early Experiences Lab

In the BEE Lab, we are interested in how parents support healthy brain development in the first years of life. We also investigate how children learn to control their attention and emotions.

In the News:

  • Dr. Tarullo recently spoke with WBUR about the role of caregiver interactions toward a child’s brain development and the importance of examining early childhood experiences. Check it out!
  • Dr. Tarullo answered questions about the science of parenting and the secret to getting a baby to sleep for Boston University’s Alumni Magazine. Check it out!
