Brain Resilience Workshop

SFU’s Institute for Neuroscience and Neurotechnology (INN) invites you to a workshop on May 15-17, 2023. This three-day workshop will cover several aspects of what determines brain resilience, from cells and circuits, to social and cultural factors. The three days will be thematically organized as follows:

Day 1: Resilience & Mental Health

keynote:Dr. Jane Foster, UT Southwestern Medical Center

Day 2: Cell & Circuit Mechanisms in Resilience

keynote: Dr. Brian MacVicar, University of British Columbia

Day 3: Resilience Across the Lifespan

keynote: Dr. Grace Iarocci, Simon Fraser University

Each day will begin with a keynote talk from leading experts in brain resilience. The remainder of each day will consist of focused 'ideas' talks which are followed by moderated discussions on key issues in the study of brain resilience. The complete speaker list and detailed program can be found on our website.
