HBM2010 - Organization for Human Brain Mapping

SCIENTIFIC PROGRAM
MORNING WORKSHOP
Connectivity in the Developing Brain, continued
Learning Objectives
Having completed this workshop, participants will be
able to:
1. Understand general principles that characterize
connectivity in the developing cortex in typical and
atypical populations;
2. Understand the development of core cognitive
functions; and
3. Understand different analytical approaches for
studying development
