The Neuro will host the Lifespan Network Neuroscience Symposium, a pre OHBM event that will take place on July 20, 2023. The one-day symposium will bring together a panel of international experts to share advances, innovations, and emerging ideas in network neuroscience from a lifespan perspective. Emphasis will be on developing recommendations and framework protocols to optimize network neuroimaging acquisition techniques, analysis, and modelling approaches. Speakers will also discuss the role of network neuroscience in understanding cognitive function and dysfunction across the lifespan as well as highlight opportunities for translational research and intervention.
Research Themes
Session 1: Early life development: In utero to adolescence and early adulthood
Session 2: Early developmental disorders
Session 3: Adult lifespan and typical aging
Session 4: Atypical aging and neurodegeneration
