Symposium Sessions, Descriptions and Abstracts from ISDP 2018

The 51st Annual Meeting was held at the Catamaran Resort Hotel & Spa in San Diego, California, USA, October 31st – November 2, 2018, with a record West Coast attendance of 257 participants. The meeting offered an ideal opportunity to present new findings and exchange ideas in all areas of Developmental Psychobiology.  As in year’s past, the meeting was held as a satellite event immediately prior to the Society for Neuroscience 2018 conference, which provided a more convenient way to attend both conferences!
