Mansfield Lecture: Dr. Petra Huppi
Dr. Petra Huppi will present “How Early Life Events Shape Our Brains: An MRI Perspective” at 5:30 pm in the Plenary Hall. Sir Peter Mansfield’s seminal contributions have led to ongoing imaging acceleration that is allowing MRI to characterize the brain earlier and earlier in life. Dr. Huppi will discuss how MRI is helping our understanding of how events during key early periods in life affect our cognitive and emotional development. The understanding is leading to new ideas for treatment of neurodevelopment disorders.
