AdaBD 2025 - International Conference on Monte Verità
The Adaptive Brain: Development, Learning, and Learning Disorders
May 25 - 28, 2025
Ascona, Switzerland
Conference topic
How does the brain adapt when we are learning?
The goal of this conference is to discuss with international leading experts cutting-edge research on neurobiological mechanisms underlying brain development, circuit adaptation during learning, and mechanisms behind learning disorders. We aim to look at these research topics from different perspectives, bridge disciplines and inspire new ideas about mechanisms of learning, and about tools for improved diagnosis and treatment of neurodevelopmental diseases.
