Epigenetics and inflammation in childhood psychiatric disorders: evidence from animal models

This session focuses on animal models that have been used to study the role of epigenetic and inflammatory mechanisms in neurodevelopment and behavior. Animal model systems are valuable tools for advancing our understanding of child and adolescent mental health disorders and improving the lives of the children and adolescents affected. Similar to the organizers ’ symposia from past years, this session provides a forum for novel animal model work relevant for child and adolescent psychiatry to be presented to a wide range of audience members, from those who care for children and families full time, to those performing neurobiological research themselves, and all others in between.
