The UCLA Neuroscience Research Theme presents Grey Matters: The Developing Brain.
The human brain contains about 100 billion neurons connected to each other by over 100 trillion connections. There is an extraordinary diversity of neurons with different functions and these are connected to each other in very specific ways. The structure and function of the brain, indeed who we are, reflects the interplay between genetic programs and our experiences during childhood and adolescence.
Panelists discussed exciting new developments in this field, the genetic basis of neuropsychiatric disorders, and how our experiences change the structure and function of our brains.
This webinar was recorded on April 29, 2021 and featured Dean Kelsey Martin, M.D., Ph.D., Larry Zipursky, Ph.D., Aparna Bhaduri, Ph.D., Joshua Trachtenberg, Ph.D., Daniel Geschwind, M.D., Ph.D., Adriana Galván, Ph.D.
