Jesse Gomez is an Assistant Professor at Princeton Neuroscience Institute. His research focuses on the development of the human brain and its implications for cognitive neuroscience. He investigates how childhood experiences shape neural structures that support essential behaviors in adulthood, emphasizing the importance of the gestation-to-adolescence period, which is often understudied. Through his research program, Gomez addresses fundamental questions regarding brain organization, the influence of a child's experiences on structural and functional development, and the impacts of developmental issues such as dyslexia and autism. He employs a variety of methods including functional MRI, quantitative MRI, diffusion-weighted MRI, as well as behavioral observations and translational techniques using postmortem tissue spectroscopy. Gomez aims to create models that connect a child's experiences with the makeup and functioning of brain development.
