Wellcome Trust Summer School on the Biology of Social Cognition

Workshop - Cambridge, United Kingdom

Now in its eighth year, this popular summer school alternates between the Wellcome Trust Genome Campus in the UK and Cold Spring Harbor in the US. The principal aim of the school is to provide an intensive week of training for advanced graduate students, post-doctoral fellows, and faculty with an interest in the biological underpinnings of social behaviour.

The programme will review our understanding of the various biological factors that influence social behaviour. The clinical consequences of dysfunctional social cognition and the role of translational research will be emphasized throughout.

Scientific sessions will include:
Cognitive and developmental perspectives
Introduction to genomics
The functional neuroanatomy of social behaviour
Social cognition in other animals
Future perspectives
