OVERVIEW | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
This session is designed to teach the audience about new advances in neurodegenerative diseases. The first speaker, Dr. Kauwe, will provide an overview of new advances in genomics and proteomics of Alzheimer Disease. The second speaker, Dr. Brewer, will address how structural morphometry from MRI has helped characterize brain atrophy patterns in neurodegenerative diseases. The third speaker, Dr. Raj, will show how brain atrophy patterns in neurodegenerative diseases can be predicted from the structural connectome of the human brain. The final speaker, Dr. Henry, will demonstrate how diffusion MRI has aided in the diagnosis of rapidly progressive dementias, especially prion disease. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
