“Neuroimmunity, Development & Psychiatry” International symposium

On October 6 2023, the Institut du Fer à Moulin and the Neurosciences Paris Seine research unit of Sorbonne Université invite you to their annual international symposium on "Neuroimmunity, Development & Psychiatry".

Recent findings show that the interaction of immune genes and environmental factors influencing immunity, such as infections and stress, shape the establishment of neuronal circuits (proliferation, migration, synaptogenesis) but also in the control of their refinement and plasticity at postnatal stages. 

Disruptions in these interactions between immunity and brain during development have a major impact on the occurrence of psychiatric diseases: for example, consistent epidemiological studies have identified prenatal exposure to infection as a risk factor for a range of mental disorders, including autism spectrum disorders and schizophrenia.

The colloquium will gather top scientists investigating these questions from different angles, to present the most recent and significant findings on the links between immunity, brain development and psychiatric pathologies.

Time has also been prioritized for poster presentations and discussion.

Consult the program, submit your posters and find all the information you may need on our website https://neuroimpsy.org/. 

Participation is free but registration is mandatory!(Should you encounter any difficulties in registering or opening the website, please do not hesitate to contact the organizing team at contact@neuroimpsy.org)

We look forward to seeing you there. Note the date and spread the word!
