The Nijmegen Cognomics Initiative brings together leading scientists from a range of disciplines to understand how variations in the human genome affect brain structure and function, to impact on memory, language, social behaviour and other crucial aspects of cognition. Last year we officially launched Cognomics with an exciting opening event. This year, we organized our first annual two-day Cognomics Symposium. The program included key-note lectures by world-leading neuroscientists David Glahn (Yale University) and Genevieve Konopka (UT Southwestern Medical Center) along with several stimulating oral and poster sessions, covering the state-of-the-art on the links between genes, neurons, circuits, brains and cognition.
Next to invited presentations from many top-researchers in the field, we also selected oral presentations and posters from the submitted abstracts.
