Environmental Neuroscience: Advancing the Understanding of How Chemical Exposures Impact Brain Health and Disease–A Workshop

June 25, 2020 @ 10:00 am - 5:00 pm

On June 25, 2020, the Forum on Neuroscience and Nervous System Disorders, in collaboration with the Board on Environmental Studies and Toxicology, will host a virtual public workshop that brings together experts and key stakeholders in neuroscience and environmental health science to explore the current knowledge landscape and future opportunities.

Invited presentations and discussions will be designed to:

  • Provide an overview of what is known about neurotoxic exposures and how they lead to neurodevelopmental and neurodegenerative disorders;
  • Explore how new technologies and approaches can be harnessed to identify previously-unknown neurotoxic chemicals and better understand the effects on brain health of cumulative exposures and interactions across the life-span; and
  • Discuss research gaps and collaborative opportunities between neuroscientists and environmental health scientists.
