Leah Somerville, PhD
Grafstein Family Professor of Psychology,

Harvard University

The human brain is close to adult size by the time a person is 10 years old. However, cascading neurodevelopmental changes continue to unfold for the subsequent decade – or two – that help transform us from children to adults. In my talk, I will discuss the multi-layered process of human brain development including discussion of the tools that are used, recent discoveries, and current challenges in characterizing the mechanisms of neurodevelopment.Free and open to the public. Coffee and snacks will be served. We encourage all those who are able to join us in-person! However, if you can’t attend in person, a Zoom link will be provided upon registration.

A small group lunch with the speaker will follow this event. This lunch will be open to Harvard students, fellows, and research assistants. Please indicate on the registration form if you are interested in attending.
