New horizons in neurodevelopment and neuropsychiatry - in partnership with Cell Press

Keep me posted   Add to calendar

The development of the human brain relies on a highly coordinated interplay of genetic, molecular, cellular, and activity-dependent mechanisms that govern neuronal specification, circuit assembly, and functional maturation. Disruptions in these processes can profoundly affect brain function and contribute to a broad spectrum of neurodevelopmental and neuropsychiatric disorders. New Horizons in Neurodevelopment and Neuropsychiatry brings together leading experts and emerging researchers to discuss cutting-edge discoveries across multiple scales of brain organization, sharing the latest perspectives on:

  • Activity-dependent mechanisms

  • Neurodevelopmental and neuropsychiatric disorders

  • Neurogenetics

  • Neural circuit molecular wiring

  • Thalamocortical circuits

  • Human brain development

  • Neural cell fate specification

 

Join us in engaging with leaders in the field, and help shape future directions in understanding the developing brain in health and disease.
