Although reductionist approaches have provided many scientific advances, a more wholistic, integrative approach is required to understand how a structure as complex as the brain provides cognition and behavior. A challenge for researchers is that often such work does not fit neatly within traditional neuroscience disciplines. For this one-day symposium, we encourage abstracts and presentations from trainees whose research cuts across traditional neuroscience systems, levels and approaches, bridging both theoretical and experimental work. Coffee breaks and lunch will be provided for presenters / CAN-ACN registrants up to 100 attendees.


Speakers:

Keynote lecture: ‘Experience-Driven Effects of Early Life Stress on Language and the Brain’ Dr. Lara Pierce, Dept Psychology, York University.

Additional talks and posters will be provided by registered trainees.
