Sackler Institute _{for Developmental Psychobiology}

The sixth annual John Merck Fund Summer Institute on the Biology of Developmental Disabilities will be held at Princeton University during the week of June 25-30, 2006. This week long course will examine the neural basis of multiple forms of learning and maturational change that take place over development, and are implicated in many developmental disorders. Distinguished psychologists, neuroscientists, and molecular biologists will lecture on related topics in addition to leading hands-on workshops on structural and functional imaging and computational modeling. The institute is geared toward graduate students and postdoctoral fellows and provides travel stipends, room, and partial board for attendees.
