Our Mission

The Fetal Brain Society is committed to spreading awareness, fostering research, and sharing knowledge with all individuals interested in fetal brain development and its clinical implications. Through collaborative learning, international partnerships, and cutting-edge education, we aim to improve diagnostic precision, facilitate early interventions, and ultimately enhance neurodevelopmental outcomes around the world.

Core Scientific Pillars

Precision Imaging – Standardizing protocols for 2D, 3D/4D ultrasound and 1.5–3 T MRI to map cerebral architecture, connectivity, and perfusion in utero.
Genotype–Phenotype Integration – Linking advanced sequencing with imaging biomarkers to clarify etiologies of cortical malformations and developmental delay.
Translational Neurobiology – Bridging primate models and human data to unravel mechanisms of neuronal migration, gyrification, and myelination.
Early-Intervention Pathways – Developing evidence-based algorithms that move seamlessly from prenatal diagnosis to neonatal neurology, surgery, and therapy.
Education & Outreach – Delivering high-impact courses, webinars, and open-access atlases that democratize fetal neuro-expertise worldwide.

Flagship Programs

Global Cerebral Cortex Atlas – Cooperative project curating normative growth trajectories and quantitative metrics from 14 to 40 weeks’ gestation.
FBS Registry of Fetal Brain Anomalies (ReFiBAn) – The world’s largest prospective database collecting multimodal images, genetic panels, and long-term neuro-outcomes.
Neuro-Boot Camp – Immersive annual workshop where fellows practice live scanning on high-resolution simulators and analyze MR datasets alongside senior mentors.
Neuro-ThinkTank Series – Quarterly virtual symposia synthesizing breakthroughs in artificial-intelligence–assisted diagnostics, connectomics, and fetal therapeutics.
