EDUCATIONAL COURSE |
|
Neurodegenerative Disease & Movement Disorders |
| SKILL LEVEL:
Intermediate to Advanced |

|
| OVERVIEW |
|
Neurodegenerative disorders are
both personally devastating and increasingly common in the
population worldwide. This session will provide an overview of the
molecular underpinnings and current theories of neurodegeration and
advanced imaging approaches used for research, diagnosis, and
treatment. |
| |
| TARGET AUDIENCE |
|
Scientists, neurologists,
neuroradiologists, movement disorder specialists, and physicists
interested in an integrated understanding of neurodegenerative
diseases and relevant MRI methods. |
| |
| EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVES
As a result of attending this
course, participants should be able to: |
- Describe the early
molecular and clinical correlates in neurodegenerative disease;
- Compare mechanisms in
Parkinson Disease, Amyotrphic Lateral Sclerosis, and Huntington
Disease;
- Evaluate the role of
advanced imaging techniques in the earliest stages of
neurodegeneration; and
- Harness the potential for
effective therapy through earlier disease detection.
