Join I-MMAS for a cutting-edge interdisciplinary forum where medical students and faculty unpack one of medicine's most rapidly evolving areas — the intersection of genomic variability, targeted nutrition, and the brain. We'll critically examine the emerging evidence reshaping how we understand cognitive performance and neurological resilience.
Dive deep into neuronal development and healing, cognitive neurobiology and nutrition, diagnosis and management of neurological disorders, and the gut-brain-immune crosstalk in behavioral regulation — including its striking implications for obesity, eating disorders, and aggressive behavior — alongside exciting emerging nutritional strategies.
