Conferences and symposiums Developing Brains 2026
The Conference “Developing Brains” will gather for the 13th time leading scientists to discuss how the immense complexity of the brain arises. Knowing how intricate brain structures are assembled gives not only crucial knowledge about the function of our bodies, but also how some of most common diseases arise.
Many overarching questions regarding how these brain structures arise and function remain unanswered. For instance, how can a single cell give rise to complex structures such as the central nervous system (brain/spinal cord) and peripheral and enteric nervous systems, which include the brain in the gut? The Conference “Developing Brains” will gather international and national leading scientists with expertise in these areas at Karolinska Institutet. These scientists will give lectures and discuss the latest advances in our knowledge of how brain structures develop.
