TOS/NIDDK Joint Symposium: Maternal Obesity and Perinatal Diet on Neural Development - Rewiring the Brain's Blueprint
When: Tuesday, 11/5/2024, 3:30 pm - 5:00 pm

Description: Join us as leading experts examine the ripple effects of maternal health and diet on a child's neural control of metabolism. This basic science symposium is targeted to neuroscientists as well as clinicians seeking to understand the science that may lead to transformative early interventions. Explore the nexus of genetics, environment, and nutrition that's reshaping pediatric care. Led by NIDDK Office of Obesity Research.

Learning Objectives:
2. Understand the evidence-based science regarding neuroendocrine, environmental, endocrine, microbiota and/or cognitive behavioral mechanisms regulating energy balance and body weight. Apply that knowledge to develop and implement treatment options for adults and pediatric patients with overweight, obesity or obesity-related co-morbidities.
4. Apply lessons learned about the impact of nutrition and obesity initiatives and policies to reduce health disparities and stigmatization of individuals with obesity.
5. Apply new knowledge related to obesity treatment options from the perspectives of Metabolism and Integrative Physiology, Neuroscience, Intervention and Clinical Studies, Population Health, Clinical/Professional Practice, and Policy/Public Health.
