Understanding the basic mechanisms of neurodevelopmental disorders
Join us in Estoril on Portugal’s Riviera coast for an exciting and diverse programme that provides an opportunity to learn about the most recent advances in fundamental and disease-focused developmental neuroscience.
Call for Papers
Abstracts are invited by 15 March 2010 for poster presentations at the conference. Topics will include a balance of human development and animal model/molecular work including genetics as follows:
- Evolution and human cerebral cortical development
- Mechanisms of neurodevelopmental disorders from epilepsy to autism and schizophrenia
- Molecular targets and pathways in neurodevelopmental disorders
- Neural patterning and cell fate
- Neurogenetics and epigenetic mechanisms
- Neurogenetics and neuroimaging of neurodevelopmental disorders across the lifespan
- Stem cells and neural repair
