The nervous system is composed of a diverse array of neural and glial cell types that differ in their location, morphology, physiology, connectivity, and gene expression. How these cell types arise and become organized are key questions in developmental neurobiology, and are also fundamental to our understanding or neurodegenerative diseases. Neurogenesis is the process by which new neurons are formed in the brain, and this is crucial when an embryo is developing, but also continues in certain brain regions after birth and throughout adult life. New molecular and imaging tools are rapidly advancing our fundamental understanding of nervous system development and disease. This core anatomy topic will be discussed by invited speakers Dr Genevieve Bernard (McGill University) and Dr Angelo Iulianella (Dalhousie University), each of whom are at the forefronts of their fields and are recognized internationally for their research. They will be joined by abstract selected speakers Dr Loran Atnip (Missouri Southern State University) and Dr Thanasup Gonmanee (Mahidol University).
