The course will include:

  • Epidemiology, aetiology, investigation guidelines
  • Classification frameworks and practical problem lists
  • Common and less common co-morbidities
  • Approaches to postural management
  • Orthopaedic intervention
  • Cerebral imaging
  • Assessment of functional visual skills

This symposium will provide a contemporary account of research findings investigating early brain-behaviour relationships and prognostic indicators relevant to clinical practice. Experimental, clinical and epidemiological techniques designed to assess the development of cognitive, emotional and social behaviour will be described. A host of leading international speakers will participate in this symposium in order to consider contemporary knowledge of the effects of genetics and the environment on neurocognitive development and prognostic indicators that can inform medical and psycho-social interventions.

Baby Brains Around the World Project: An International On-Line Conference

Dates: Website Open Between 23 April  - 4 June 2012

As well as standard registration to attend the symposium in person it is now possible to register for ON-LINE ONLY access to the conference. The on-line Baby Brains project aims to widen communication & networking opportunities as far as possible for academics and practitioners across the globe interested in early human cognition and its developmental pathways. 

Lectures will be filmed and broadcast on the secure conference website by UCL Media Services.

On-line delegates will have electronic access to:

  • Live streaming and video files of lectures available to watch repeatedly until 4th June 2012.
  • Proceedings of the conference.
  • All lecture hand-outs.
  • All scientific posters.
  • Interactive delegate discussion forums.
  • Details of information from our sponsors.


N.B. Delegates who register to attend the conference in person will also have access to all aspects of the on-line conference until 4 June 2012.

 

Call for Abstracts for Posters
