 velopment and Function

DESCRIPTION: How much of our brain development is determined by our experie
 nces\, and how much is hardwired into our physiology? By studying an array 
 of people\, including deaf and blind individuals\, researchers at the Brain
  Development Lab at the University of Oregon have begun to understand the c
 hangeability (i.e.\, neuroplasticity) of the human brain. Some neural syste
 ms appear strongly determined?experience doesn't alter them at all. Others 
 are highly affected by experience\, and a third neural system is capable of
  change throughout life. Come find out about current research on brain func
 tion\, including intervention studies with 3- to 5-year-old preschoolers th
 at hope to unravel the learning processes of developing children.\n\nHelen 
 J. Neville\, PhD\, is the Robert and Beverly Lewis Endowed Chair and profes
 sor of psychology and neuroscience\, director of the Brain Development Lab\
 , and director of the Center for Cognitive Neuroscience at the University o
 f Oregon. Her major research interests are the role of biology and experien
 ce in neurosensory and neurocognitive development in humans. She has writte
 n several books and her work has been widely published in journals\, includ
 ing Nature and Journal of Cognitive Neuroscience.
