The Brain Conference: Establishment and Maintenance of Brain Cell States
Chaired by Adrian Bird (UK) and Anne Schaefer (DE/USA), this conference will feature the latest research covering genetic and epigenetic mechanisms responsible for creating and maintaining the integrity of the brain.
The brain is made up of multiple cell types, predominantly neurons and glia, whose structures and interactions determine the function of the nervous system. At a molecular level, each cell is defined during development by accurate specification of gene expression patterns. Once established, equally crucial are the mechanisms that stabilise the various cell states. Sometimes, this can take many decades. Failure of these processes contributes to neurological disorders associated with ageing and disease.
