OVERVIEW
11th International Congress on Non-Motor Dysfunctions in Parkinson's disease and Related Disorders, NMDPD 2016 - taking place in Ljubljana, Slovenia, October 6-9, 2016 - is a multidisciplinary congress that discusses new developments in the understanding of non-motor aspects of Parkinson's disease and other movement disorders, as well as their management.
During this exciting congress, they shall have an opportunity to deliberate on brain diseases and how they contribute to cognition and behavior. They shall try to identify the psychological markers of Parkinson's dementia and of dementia with Lewy bodies, as well as the biochemical and genetic factors involved. The identification in recent years of widespread alpha-synuclein deposits, from the periphery and up to the cortex, has contributed to our understanding, but at the same time has raised new and still unanswered questions as well as exciting new therapeutic possibilities. The overlap with Alzheimer's disease and with fronto-temporal dementia will be two other central issues.
Delirium, dementia, anxiety, psychosis and impulse control disorders frequently affect the lives of patients and caregivers even more than motor disturbances, and they therefore deserve special attention. Besides cognitive impairment, patients with movement disorders frequently complain of disturbances of the autonomic nervous system, REM sleep behavior disorder and hyposmia, to name just a few. All these aspects will also be discussed in detail.
They encourage you to not only attend the congress but to also submit an abstract, thereby contributing to what they are confident will be a splendid scientific program in an amazing environment. Ljubljana, the picturesque capital of Slovenia along the Ljubljanica and Sava rivers, will provide a wonderful opportunity to exchange ideas and present new research findings.
Speakers: K Ray Chaudhuri, Amos D Korczyn, Zvezdan Pirtosek, Heinz Reichmann, Vladimir Kostic, Milica Kramberger, Elka Stefanova, Arben Taravari
