Translational Developmental Neuroscience is a rapidly growing field that aims to diminish the burden of mental illness by making connections from "bench to bedside" by examining early developmental periods that set the stage for patterns of behavior later in life. This course will explore multi-disciplinary and multi-modal approaches to broad reaching mental health concerns. Salient work across a range of developmental periods and across species will be incorporated. The primary material will be peer-reviewed journal articles that focus on a sub-set of mental health topics including, but not limited to, stress, anxiety, and ADHD.
