European Brain and Behavior Society Satellite at FENS 2012: Stress, the story of our social lives

Symposium - Barcelona, Spain

This Symposium will bring together leading scientists in development, genetics, neural, emotional, and cognitive function to discuss the significance of stress and adversity-from molecules to society.

While most efforts have been largely reactive, certain initiatives are emerging to prevent developmental trajectories leading to serious mental health problems. Mental illnesses are complex and probably result from a combination of genetic, environmental, psychological, and developmental factors. In line with the contemporary thrust for a personalised medicine, individual characteristics are proving critical in understanding the processes involved in the development of mental illness and successful interventions targeting this collective challenge. In its infancy, in order to be fruitful the personalised approach needs to integrate and distil evidence from a large variety of disciplines.
