Oxford Handbook of Developmental Cognitive Neuroscience

Dr Kathrin Cohen Kadosh is an associate professor in Developmental Cognitive Neuroscience at the University of Surrey, where she is head of the Social Brain & Development Lab and the multidisciplinary Brain Nutrition Gut Microbiome group. She read for her PhD at Birkbeck College, University of London and received postdoctoral training at University College London, King's College London, the National Institutes of Health (USA) and the University of Oxford. Her work combines behavioural assessments and brain-imaging techniques to understand how improving cognitive abilities and changes in brain function and structure shape the brain network and subsequent behaviour. Another line of her work investigates the role of the microbiome gut-brain axis on mental health and well-being in development. She has held several national and international research grants, and her work has been published in reputed academic journals and textbook chapters and she serves as a reviewer on international research panels.
