SDSU’s ChAAMP and TEND labs are pleased to announce a publication of original research in Frontiers in Behavioral Neuroscience. The manuscript disseminates findings from a successful collaboration integrating treatment development research with neuroimaging. Karen T. G. Schwartz, MS, Maria Kryza-Lacombe, MA, and Michael T. Liuzzi’s efforts, under the mentorship of V.
