Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, Cold Spring Harbor, New York
July 18 - 22, 2013
We are pleased to announce the first Cold Spring Harbor meeting on Wiring the Brain. The main goal of this meeting is to bring together researchers from diverse fields to explore how brain connectivity is established, how genetic variation can affect these processes, how circuit and network function are affected by defects in neural development and how this can lead to psychiatric and neurological disease. Topics: Genetically programmed development Activity-dependent development Genetics of neurodevelopmental disorders Modeling neurodevelopmental disorders Connectivity – from synapses to systems Circuits – function and dysfunction Wiring the human brain Cognitive development – the emergence of the mind
