The previous Wiring the Brain series have taken place in Ireland with the first US event based at Cold Spring Harbor.

The main goal of this meeting is to bring together researchers from diverse fields to explore how brain connectivity is established, how genetic variation can affect these processes, how circuit and network function are affected by defects in neural development and how this can lead to psychiatric and neurological disease.
Topics:
*Genetically Programmed Development
*Activity-dependent Development
*Genetics of Neurodevelopmental Disorders
*Modeling Neurodevelopmental Disorders
*Connectivity – from Synapses to Systems
*Circuits – Function & Dysfunction
*Wiring the Human Brain
*Cognitive Development – the Emergence of the Mind
