Concern is increasing that environmental toxins may play a significant role in abnormal neurodevelopment and be associated with mental disorders in children. This course will describe evidence for this association, describe potential interventions to treat and protect children and discuss effective interventions to help remove neurotoxicants from our environment.

Dr. Martha Herbert is an Assistant Professor of Neurology at Harvard Medical School, a Pediatric Neurologist at the Massachusetts General Hospital and at Cambridge Hospital, and a member of the Harvard-MIT-MGH Martinos Center for Biomedical Imaging. She also received the Cure Autism Now Innovator Award and directs the Cure Autism Now Foundation's Brain Development Initiative. Her research program includes studying what makes some autistic brains unusually large, how the parts of the brain are connected and coordinated with each other, and how we can measure changes in brain function that can result from treatment interventions.
