Conference on gene expression in neurobiology and behaviour, Sant Feliu de Guixols, Spain
20 September 2009 - 20 September 2009
Spain
The European Science Foundation (ESF) is organising a research conference entitled 'Gene expression to neurobiology and behaviour: human brain development and development disorders' from 20 to 25 September in Sant Feliu de Guixols, Spain.
With a subject that lies at the intersection between genetics, neurobiology, medicine, developmental neuropsychology, cognitive neuroscience and engineering, the meeting will draw on European and North American expertise to add value to the quality of European research in the currently separate disciplines.
To develop this synthesis, and provide young researchers with an interdisciplinary perspective, the meeting will cover:
- genetics of neurodevelopmental disorders and animal models with genetic modifications (e.g. knock-outs);
- biology of neuronal organisation and connectivity in the developing brain;
- infant cognitive and sensorimotor development and its relation to developing brain mechanisms;
- cognitive and sensorimotor characteristics of specific neurodevelopmental disorders;
- neuroimaging and neurophysiology of function in normal and atypical development.For further information, please visit:
