Educational Program

The course is structured into five thematic sessions:

The Human Starting Point: Clinical Practice, Diagnosis, and Open Questions
Introduction to neurodevelopmental disorders, diagnostic tools, and major unresolved challenges.

Personalized In Vitro Models
Neuronal models derived from patient cells to study pathological phenotypes and test personalized therapies.

In Vivo Models
Validation of in vitro findings and investigation of effects on neural circuits and behavior.

Digital Twins: Multiscale Computational Models
Integration of molecular, cellular, and clinical data to simulate pathological dynamics and treatment responses.

Hands-on: Building Digital Twins
Practical activities to develop predictive models of neural networks and the human brain based on real data.

Each session includes keynote lectures, expert talks, and open discussion with participants. This format is designed to train a new generation of researchers and professionals capable of integrating multiple disciplines to address emerging needs in neuroscience.
