The Fourth International Symposium on the Fetal Brain (ISFB) 2019

The Fourth International Symposium on the Fetal Brain (ISFB) 2019 is organized by Children's National Health System and will be held from Nov 21 - 22, 2019 at Four Seasons Hotel Washington, DC, Washington, Dist of Col, United States of America.

Theme: Pregnancy, Stress, and Depression: Impact on the Developing Fetal Brain

Description:
This multidisciplinary event features a 360-degree review of advances in understanding of the fetal brain, presented by a panel of world-renowned experts in the fields of maternal-fetal medicine, developmental neuroscience, neurogenetics, fetal and neonatal neurology, and imaging.

As one of few centers in the world with a fetal neuroradiology team, the Institute’s pioneering research allows them to develop advanced techniques for diagnosing fetal brain development complications. Supported by the Advanced Pediatric Brain Imaging Laboratory, Children’s National is the one of few programs worldwide offering advanced fetal brain MRI analysis. The lab has developed the largest known database for brain development, which is used to support clinical fetal diagnoses by comparing MRI results of fetal patients to age-equivalent volumetric data in the large normative database. In addition, the lab is pioneering new techniques for fetal brain evaluation.

Children’s National is unique in its focus on brain development and the congenital conditions that affect a baby’s transition from fetal to neonatal life.

Additional details will be posted as soon as they are available.
