Neuroscience of Movement Disorders Course
OVERVIEW
Neuroscience of Movement Disorders Course is organized by International Parkinson and Movement Disorder Society (MDS) and will be held on Nov 02, 2018 at Hilton San Diego Bayfront, San Diego, California, United States of America. The target audience for this medical event is course are basic scientists – graduate students, post-doctoral students, junior and midlevel PhD and MD/PhD faculty.
Course Description:
Neuroscience of Movement Disorders is a one-day course concentrating on the aspects and treatment of Parkinson’s disease, taking place in San Diego, CA on November 2, 2018 immediately preceding the Society for Neuroscience (SfN) Annual Meeting. The target audiences for this course are basic and translational scientists, including graduate students, post-doctoral students, and junior faculty.
The goal of this course is to introduce this audience, which has great sophistication in neuroscience, to the principles, basic knowledge, and unanswered questions that are important to the field of Movement Disorders. The faculty consists of experts in pathology, etiology, neurodegenerative and neuroprotective mechanisms of Parkinson’s disease and other movement disorders.
Throughout the course sessions, basic scientists will have the opportunity to interact with neurologists and neuroscientists to discuss movement disorders, and gain a deeper understanding of symptoms and underlying mechanisms. The overall aim is to increase the number of basic and translational scientists working on questions that are important to the field and future of Movement Disorders.
Course Objectives:
• Describe the etiology, pathophysiology, neurodegenerative and neuroprotective mechanisms of Parkinson’s disease and other movement disorders
• Identify the important unanswered questions in movement disorders, and how basic science approaches can be used to address these
• Discuss new translational approaches for understanding and treating Parkinson’s disease and other movement disorders
Additional details will be posted as soon as they are available.
