ISDN 2018 - 22nd Biennial Meeting of the International Society for Developmental Neuroscience

Join us for ISDN2018 in Nara, the ancient capital of Japan, with its lush landscapes, historic temples and its famous domesticated deer. The 2018 meeting will feature an exciting and diverse scientific programme focused on recent advances and future directions in fundamental and applied developmental neuroscience.
Organised by the International Society for Developmental Neuroscience (ISDN), this meeting will include the following topics with talks on diverse model animals and human diseases:
Cell lineage and neural diversity in the cerebral cortex
Development and plasticity of sensory pathways
Oligodendrocyte/neuron interactions
Neural stem-progenitor cells in the embryonic, early postnatal, and adult mammalian brain
Neural activity, subtype specification and circuit formation
Cell migration and layer formation in the developing cerebral cortex
How the Reeler mutation has shaped our understanding of brain development
Transgenerational epigenetic events
Neurodevelopment and psychiatric disorders
Modeling neurodevelopment and developmental brain disorders: from Primate to human PSC-based 2D and 3D models
Mechanisms of circuit formation and degeneration
Development and plasticity of vocal communication systems in human and non-human models
Genome editing applications in understanding of normal and pathological nervous system
As in previous years, ISDN will provide a number of travel and poster awards for trainees.
