0:10.4 | Hello everyone, I'm Carol Fleck and on behalf of the Attitude Team, I'm pleased to welcome |
0:20.5 | you to today's ADHD Experts Presentation titled Epigenetics, Understanding Its Roll |
0:27.4 | in ADHD and Future Applications. |
0:31.6 | Leading today's presentation is Dr. Charlotte Cecil. |
0:36.1 | Dr. Cecil works at the Erasmus Medical Center located in the Netherlands. |
0:41.9 | She is an associate professor in biological psychopathology at the Department of Child and |
0:47.7 | Adolescent Psychiatry and Head of the In-depth Lab. |
0:52.1 | Her research focuses on the environmental and genetic factors that come together to influence |
0:57.5 | a baby's brain development and mental health from the time they're born through adolescence. |
1:04.0 | By identifying these factors early on, clinicians have a better chance to possibly detect, prevent, |
1:10.4 | or treat chronic mental health illness or, excuse me, mental illness later in life. |
1:16.1 | In today's webinar, we'll discuss the complicated and fascinating relationship between genes |
1:22.2 | and the environment. |
1:24.2 | This relationship is called Epigenetics and through this research, we now know that a |
1:29.5 | person's exposure to pollution, chronic stress, trauma, smoking, and other factors can |
1:37.0 | influence a baby's development even before they're born. |
1:41.1 | Today, we'll learn more about epigenetics and what it can tell us about our future. |
1:47.2 | We'd like to begin today's webinar by asking this poll question to our live audience. |
1:53.3 | What do you hope epigenetic research will one day lead to? |
