Developmental Neuroscience

在生命早期，大脑中的细胞连接不断而快速地发展，受到来自外部和内部经验的信息的影响。这个过程会影响大脑的发育，以及它在以后的生活中思考和学习的方式。使用最先进的技术，这个NSERC教席项目将整合体外和体内模型，研究早期生活经历下大脑发育的细胞和分子机制，特别是在癫痫和应激等负面经历下。所获得的知识将被转移给知识使用者，并有助于了解早期人脑的发育，并找到促进大脑最佳运作的方法。

During early life, cellular connections in the brain develop constantly and quickly, influenced by information derived from external and internal experiences. This process impacts how the brain develops, and how it will think and learn later in life. Using state-of-the-art technologies, this NSERC chair program will integrate in vitro and in vivo models to study cellular and molecular mechanisms of brain development under early-life experiences, especially under negative experiences like seizures and stress. The knowledge gained will be transferred to knowledge users, and contribute to understanding early-life human brain development, and finding ways to promote the brain¿s best functioning.
