An expert panel meeting will be held on the 22nd of October 2018 to discuss the design of a recent piece of longitudinal research examining the impact of substance exposure on pre- and postnatal neural development. It will also discuss the relationship between pre- natal substance exposure and subsequent risk of mental illness and substance use, and the impact upon levels of social, behavioral and academic achievement.

The aim of the webinar is to bring together professionals with collective expertise in child development; longitudinal cohort studies; developmental neuroimaging; and social/legal and environmental issues.
