Using preschool disruptive behavior and anxiety as a paradigm, the study aims to: (a) create an intellectual environment in which neuroscientists join with development and clinical scientists to generate integrated conceptual models of preschool disruptive behavior and anxiety; (b) delineate the boundaries between temperament and psychopathology in young children and (c) identify the neural substrates of these emerging clinical disorders.
