Families  with  two  parents  and  children  (ages  approximately  6-­‐12)  are  needed  for  a  neuroimaging  research  study  examining  the  inheritance  of  emotions  and  cognition.  Specifically,  we  are  recruiting  families  with  a  child  conceived  through  in-­‐vitro  fertilization.

Study on Family Emotions & Cognition

 “There  can  be  no  knowledge  without  emotion.  We  may  be  aware  of  a  truth,  yet  until  we  have  felt  its  force,  it  is  not  ours.  To  the  cognition  of  the  brain  must  be  added  the  experience  of  the  soul.”  ~Arnold  Bennett
