The goal of CAAN is to serve the needs of our community by endeavoring (a) to elucidate the neurobiological and behavioral mechanisms of vulnerability to cognitive-affective disorders in children and adults; (b) to evaluate the effectiveness of clinical interventions for emotion dysregulation disorders and better understand how different clinical treatments influence thinking, feeling, behavior, and neural processes. CAAN is partly funded by the National Institute of Mental Health, JKW Foundation, Mind and Life Research Institute, National Association for Research on Schizophrenia and Depression.
