Join us for a fascinating webinar on mental health across the spectrum of life, a subject even more relevant as we begin to understand the long-term impact of the pandemic on our society.

Through work rooted in neuroscience, Ludmer Centre researchers will discuss chronic stress and depression, and their impacts on the development of the brain. We look forward to learning about both the challenges and the great resilience in the way our brains can manage the consequences of repeated stress, along with the bright future of treatment.
About the Speakers

As one of the Co-Directors of the Ludmer Centre, which focuses on the integration of brain imaging, genetic, and epigenetic data to better understand mental health, Dr. Greenwood will bring a great deal of breadth to the role of moderator.
Dr. Rosemary Bagot, Assistant Professor, Department of Psychology and Principal Investigator at the Ludmer Centre for Neuroinformatics & Mental Health
Dr. Bagot will share key findings on how stress shapes the brain in adulthood, based on her work studying these biological phenomena in several animal models.
Dr. Patricia Silveira, Associate Professor, Department of Psychiatry at McGill University and Co-director of the Ludmer Centre for Neuroinformatics & Mental Health
Dr. Silveira will discuss how individual differences inform the risk for mental illness, based on her work studying specific biomarkers detected during development.
