About this Seminar
Marcelo de Oliveira Dietrich studies how infants turn into adults, how experience shapes their maturation, and how this period of their life affects their long-term health. Infants are not miniature adults. Infants deal with distinct physiological disturbances compared to adults and, therefore, they need to possess the proper regulatory processes to maintain homeostasis. These processes are specific to each stage of development. In addition to maintaining body homeostasis for survival and growth, infants have a second task: to prepare for the next stage of their development. Every aspect of physiology seems to be in place to serve a purpose later in life. During the talk, he will discuss some of the neural circuits that are specifically tuned to the regulation of age-specific social behaviors during the development of mammals.
Additional Details
This is a free event hosted by the Fralin Biomedical Research Institute and co-sponsored by the institute's Center for Neurobiology Research. The Pioneers in Biomedical Research Seminar Series, which runs annually from September to May, has featured leading biomedical researchers from throughout the country since the program began in 2012. The lectures are also open to all members of the Virginia Tech community including graduate students, undergraduates, faculty, and staff, as well as the public.
