A workshop exploring the exposome and its impact on the brain was held on January 13–14, 2026, bringing together researchers to examine how factors within our bodies and environments influence brain health across the lifespan. Organized by the United States’ National Institutes of Health (NIH), the hybrid event focused on understanding the complex interactions between environmental exposures, biological processes, and neurological outcomes.
The workshop featured keynote presentations from leading scientific and medical experts. The program also included Q&A sessions, breakout discussions, and networking opportunities that encouraged collaboration across disciplines working at the intersection of environmental health and neuroscience. Participants engaged in conversations on advancing research approaches to better understand how lifelong exposures shape brain function and disease risk.
