TDRA Workshop: Neuromodulation for Neurocognitive Disorders
THANK YOU FOR YOUR INTEREST. REGISTRATION FOR THIS EVENT IS NOW CLOSED.
For a synopsis of the workshop, post-event, please click here.
Description:
Open to the scientific community, this one-day workshop will provide the opportunity to learn about various forms of neuromodulation, and discuss current and future applications in the treatment of neurocognitive disorders.
Researchers in the TDRA network have world class expertise in neuromodulation relating to neurodegeneration and neurocognitive disorders. The types of neuromodulation TDRA scientists are investigating include deep brain stimulation, electrical, focused ultrasound, magnetic, and photobiomodulation. These investigations span both basic and clinical sciences, with bench-to-beside research happening collaboratively across sites. The workshop will showcase this research while encouraging participant engagement to foster thought, innovation, and collaboration.
Breakfast, lunch, and light refreshments to be provided. Social event to follow.
