SUMMARY:Autism Across the Spectrum:  From Understanding the Brain to Developing New Treatments
UID:636179@northwestern.edu
TZID:America/Chicago
DESCRIPTION:Autism is a spectrum that spans from mild social and sensory differences to severe forms accompanied by intellectual disability\, epilepsy\, and other medical challenges. At Northwestern’s Center for Autism and Neurodevelopment\, scientists are uncovering how genes and brain circuits shape this spectrum\, from its mildest to its most disabling manifestations. Our goal is to understand the biology that drives difficulty—and to develop safe\, effective treatments that relieve suffering\, improve communication\, and enhance quality of life for people across the spectrum. This talk will highlight how discoveries in genetics\, brain imaging\, and drug development are bringing new hope for children and adults with autism and related neurodevelopmental disorders.  Peter Penzes\, PhD\, is the director of the Center for Autism and Neurodevelopment\, the Ruth and Evelyn Dunbar Professor of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences\, and professor in the Departments of Neuroscience and Pharmacology.  Event Attendees: Please note that you will receive an email reminder with the webinar link the day prior to the event.\n\nMore Info: https://www.feinberg.northwestern.edu/alumni/connect-with-alumni/maa-events/index.html\n\nRegister: https://events.ard.northwestern.edu/Dn8g9BS7/5a65UzVUtI9
