NeuroDevNet: FASD Research from the Lab to the Community
Many are familiar with NeuroDevNet, one of Canada #39;s Research Centres of Excellence, and their research in genetics and structural alterations in the brain as a result of fetal alcohol exposure. What you may not be aware of is how far beyond this their research in FASD goes. Knowledge translation, neuroethics and neuroinformatics are other research arms that bring a variety lenses to the issue of FASD. The presentation will introduce NeuroDevNet, a Network of Centres of Excellence in developmental neuroscience. NeuroDevNet is the first trans-Canada initiative dedicated to studying children #39;s brain development from both basic science and clinical perspectives. NeuroDevNet #39;s FASD team is engaged in an interdisciplinary research project that will investigate the relationship between genetics, structural alterations in the brain, and neurobehavioural outcomes in children impacted by FASD. Join us as we walk through an overview of the spectrum of FASD research and findings being generated by NeuroDevNet. Presenters Dr. James Reynolds B.Sc., Ph.D - Dr. James Reynolds is a graduate of Queen #39;s University (B.Sc., 1982, Ph.D, 1987). After obtaining his doctorate, he completed postdoctoral training at the Addiction Research Foundation and the University of Toronto. Dr. Reynolds #39; research interests over the past 20 years have centred around studies on the effects of alcohol on brain function. In particular, his current research program is focused on understanding the mechanisms of ...
