The neural exposome is the integrated compilation of all physical, chemical, biological, and psychosocial influences that affect nervous system health and disease. Studying the neural exposome is key to developing treatments and personalized medicine for neurological disorders. This workshop will center on understanding the interaction of exposome factors and their composite effect on neurological disorders and on neurological resilience. It will also provide a platform for idea exchange, collaboration, and networking.
