View Building and Repairing the Brain talk session on demand.
Summary
This session highlights exciting developments in the field of early brain development and adult brain repair. Hear key leaders in the field discuss topics including modeling human neural tube development and the power of microfluidics, migration disorders in human cerebral organoids, in vivo modeling of human neuron dynamics and reprogramming epilepsy by glia-to-neuron conversion.
Webinar objectives
- Discover modeling of human brain development and neurodevelopmental disorders using pluripotent stem cells
- Review the critical role of cell migration during development of the cerebral cortex
- Discuss the novel strategies to replace degenerated neurons in brain disease
