We are pleased to announce the fourth Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory winter conference on Development and 3D Modeling of the Human Brain. The goal of this meeting is to bring together researchers from diverse fields to discuss advances in neural differentiation of pluripotent stem cells, including 3D brain organoids and assembloids, and their contribution to the understanding of human brain development, evolution, and disease.

The meeting will begin on the evening of Monday, December 9, 2024, and end after lunch on Thursday, December 12. To maximize interactions amongst participants, this meeting is now IN-PERSON only – no virtual attendance is available. Abstracts should contain new and unpublished material. Selection of material for oral and poster presentations will be made by the organizers and session chairs.

Topics:

• Human Brain Development and Disease
• Human Brain Evolution
• Brain Models, Development and Disease I
• Brain Models, Development and Disease II
• Brain Models and Disease
