Neurodegeneration and Cell Death*
This session will present basic and translational science on the topic of mechanisms of neurodegeneration. Read More
Neurodevelopmental Disorders from Conception and Beyond*
Brain development in utero is a complex process where several factors can influence outcomes. Between parental genetics, environmental exposures, and placental function alone, numerous physiological and environmental factors can lead to various neurodevelopmental and psychiatric disorders. Awareness of these challenges when providing care for both children and adults may impact etiologic investigation and treatment options. […] Read More
ANA-SEQUINS Health Services and Health Equity Research – Innovative Pathways in Neurologic Care: Shaping the Future of Treatment*
A session on innovative care pathways in neurology is timely and essential as advancements in both medical technology and our understanding of neurological diseases continue to evolve rapidly. These innovations offer the potential to significantly improve patient outcomes, reduce healthcare costs, and enhance the quality of care for individuals affected by neurological disorders. With the […] Read More
Neurogenetics and Gene Therapy*
This session focuses on current and future approaches to uncovering the full genetic contribution to disease but also leveraging our understanding of neurogenetics for new precision therapies. Sequencing in tens of thousands of individuals with neurological disease over the last decade has resulted in our current appreciation of the prevailing genetic contribution to neurological disease. […] Read More
Neurorecovery and Neuroplasticity: Cognitive Function*
Stroke and other acquired brain injuries commonly result in aphasia and spatial neglect and can markedly impair cognitive function. Aphasia affects language processing, making it difficult to speak, understand, read, or write, while spatial neglect disrupts a person’s awareness of one side of space, impacting mobility, vision, and independence. These conditions are not only common […] Read More
Neuroinflammation and Neuroinfection*
While the host immune response is critical to effectively eradicating pathogens that cause CNS infections, exuberant inflammation can be a greater driver of morbidity and mortality than the infection itself. Increasing recognition of the pathophysiologic mechanisms and distinct immunologic pathways underlying CNS Inflammation has led to targeted host-directed strategies to mitigate neurologic injury often seen […] Read More
