Yale University is a private Ivy League research university in New Haven, Connecticut. Founded in 1701, the University is the third-oldest institution of higher education in the United States.

Yale University is one of 21 institutions nationwide that will recruit families to participate in the ABCD Study. Connecticut families in the ABCD Study will complete their assessments at the Yale Magnetic Resonance Research Center (MRRC) with the Yale Fundamentals of the Adolescent Brain (FAB) lab team. The Yale FAB Lab uses human imaging and animal models on topics that range from self-control to social and legal policy. Rather than depicting the teen brain as defective, our research paints a picture of a brain that is sculpted by both biology and experience that adapts to the unique social, physical, and intellectual challenges of this developmental period.
