SUMMARY:Early Environments and Cortical-Subcortical Circuit Development - 
 Dr Nim Tottenham\, Associate Professor of Psychology\, Columbia University
DTSTART:20170314T133000Z

UID:TALK71529@talks.cam.ac.uk
CONTACT:Dr. Milena Vurro
DESCRIPTION:Signals in the early environment are potent effectors of brain
  development. Variations in early species-typical experiences\, such as pa
 rental caregiving\, reveal the profound effects on the development of neur
 ocircuitry involved in affective learning and regulation (e.g.\, amygdala\
 , hippocampus\, medial prefrontal cortex). This talk will focus on both ty
 pical development as well as development following caregiver deprivation s
 howing that early life early environments may influence development throug
 h learning as well as altering developmental pacing of this circuitry. The
 se age-related changes will be discussed in terms of potential development
 al sensitive periods for environmental influence.
