“The Developing Brain: New Directions in Science, Policy, and Law”

This conference kicks off a new effort at Washington University to address topics where the fields of neuroscience intersect with emerging issues for our society.  This new effort, led by the Office of Neuroscience Research (ONR), brings together the academic community (faculty, post docs, students and others) as well as those outside our academic walls, to engage in ways that help to educate and inform.  The conference includes keynote talks, talks from WashU faculty, and a panel discussion.

The ONR is grateful for support from the Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities Research Center (IDDRC), the Department of Neurology, the Department of Psychological & Brain Sciences, and the Office of the Provost.
