PKU - Developmental Cognitive Neuroscience

15 - 26 July 2024

Hosted by Peking University 

This course explores the fascinating and complex puzzle – the developing brain as well as how genes and experience interactively contribute to brain development and shape who we are. In this course, we will explore the central concepts of social, cognitive and emotional development with an emphasis on the role that neuroscience can play in raising and answering theoretical and applied developmental questions, including but not limited to the following:

How does the brain structure develop from childhood to early adulthood? What are the neuroscience tools that researchers use to study the brain in children? What are the neural mechanisms underlying the development of various cognitive functions, such as attention, language, memory and face perception? Can neuroscience help us determine who will develop psychopathology?
