Join NIH, NICHD, and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation for an upcoming virtual workshop – The Brain Across the Lifespan: Tools and Methodologies for Measuring the Changing Brain – on April 18-19, 2022.
- Each day of the workshop has a slightly different timeframe:
- On April 18, activities begin at 11 a.m. ET and continue until 5 p.m. ET.
- On April 19, activities begin at noon ET and go to 5 p.m. ET.
- Register to attend and learn more about this workshop
Mapping changes in brain composition and dynamics across the lifespan is critical to identifying sensitive developmental processes that, when disrupted, can lead to disease later in life. Better approaches are needed to link data collected from the brain across timepoints and identify biomarkers of atypical neurodevelopment that may signal neurodegenerative disorders in adulthood.
This workshop connects researchers who are focused on different timepoints and levels of resolution, in different model systems and over different timescales, to jointly explore existing and emerging tools and methods for measuring cellular identity, connectivity, and activity changes in the brain over time. Workshop participants will also identify research gaps and opportunities for bridging our understanding of early neurodevelopment to health and disease later in life.
