HiLIFE webinar / Biomedicum Helsinki seminar: Kevin Bath

Impact of early life adversity on neural and behavioral development: insights from a translational mouse model
Dr. Bath received his Ph.D. in behavioral and evolution neuroscience in the Department of Psychology at Cornell University. He then completed a postdoctoral fellowship in labs of Dr. Francis Lee and Dr. Bruce McEwen. Following this Dr. Bath was on the faculty at Brown University, prior to his move to Columbia University where he is an Associate Professor as well as Director of the Rodent Behavioral Core facility at the New York State Psychiatric Institute. The focus of his lab is to understand how adverse experiences encountered early in life alter the trajectory of neural development and the genetic mechanisms supporting those changes. He seeks to understand this question through an evolutionary lens, and attempt to understand how changes in the timing of regional brain development support the proximate goals of survival and reproduction, with implications for expressions of pathological behavior in the instance of a mismatch between the rearing context and the context an animal subsequently finds itself in. To this end, the lab focuses on the development of multiple brain centers, including the social behavioral network, limbic, paralimbic, and cortical brain areas and behaviors associated with the development of each.

Welcome to this exciting seminar!
