3rd UK Paediatric Neuropsychology Symposium: Early Brain-Behaviour Relationships & Prognostic Indicators
Dates: 23- 27 April 2012
3rd Symposium
Symposium Directors: Dr Michelle De Haan & Dr Peter Rankin
The 3rd symposium took place at the Institute of Child Health between 23-27 Aril 2012. The symposium provided a contemporary account of research findings investigating early brain-behaviour relationships and prognostic indicators relevant to clinical practice. Experimental, clinical and epidemiological techniques designed to assess the development of cognitive, emotional and social behaviour were described. A host of leading international speakers participated in the symposium in order to consider contemporary knowledge of the effects of genetics and the environment on neurocognitive development and prognostic indicators that can inform medical and psycho-social interventions.
