Title: Prenatal programming of psychological development and mental health

Host: Professor Dieter Wolke

Abstract:

Prenatal exposure to environmental adversities exerts lifelong consequences on vulnerability for problems in psychological development and mental health. During fetal period, rapid growth and plasticity of the brain renders it sensitive to environmental effects. These effects can confer vulnerabilities or adaptive advantages that last throughout the lifespan, a developmental plasticity phenomenon called programming. In her talk, Katri Räikkönen will present findings from her pregnancy and birth cohort studies, which have focused on the topic of prenatal programming. She will also present findings from her more recent studies, which have aimed at identifying what the biological maternal-placental-fetal mechanisms are that underpin these associations.

Refreshments for informal networking with speaker 14:30. Talk 15:00 - 15:45 Q&A 16:00 ends
