The EPFL-Latsis Symposium will bring together world leaders from very different fields to discuss major recent advances in biological (genetic risk factors; stress; hormonal alterations; neuroimaging data on brain function alterations), psycho-sociological (hierarchical relationships and population health; elements of the micro-context; developmental trajectories) and modeling approaches (virtual reality and emotions; computational models on the development of hierarchical societies) to foster actual interactions between these fields. Organizer of the symposium: Carmen Sandi (Brain Mind Institute, School of Life Sciences, EPFL) Co-organizers: Andreas Meyer-Lindenberg (Central Institute of Mental Health, Mannheim, Germany), Mel Slater (UCL London & Catalan Polytechnic University Barcelona), Pierre Magistretti (Brain Mind Institute, School of Life Sciences, EPFL).
