Glucagon-like Peptide-1 (GLP-1) Receptor Agonists – The Ultimate (Antiaging) Gateway Drug?*
This session will begin with an overview of Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) is an incretin hormone that plays a crucial role in glucose homeostasis. Beyond its metabolic effects, GLP-1 has gained significant attention for its role in the central nervous system (CNS), particularly in neuroprotection, neuroinflammation, and neurodegenerative diseases. This plenary will focus on emerging science […] Read More
Advancing Science and Care Models for Lifespan Transitions in Neurodevelopmental Disorders*
Understanding the science and care models for lifespan transitions in neurodevelopmental disorders is crucial as individuals with these conditions live longer and fuller lives. As they age, their needs change, requiring personalized interventions to ensure continuous care, improved quality of life, and greater independence. This topic is timely because transitioning from pediatric to adult healthcare […] Read More
Navigating Diagnostic Odysseys of Undiagnosed Diseases in Neurology: Emerging Paradigms Using Deep Phenotyping and Omics-based Approaches*
Undiagnosed diseases, often characterized by complex, long-standing symptoms, remain a major challenge in neurology, with over 50% of undiagnosed cases presenting with a neurological phenotype. These conditions fall into four categories: atypical presentations of common or rare diseases, typical presentations of rare diseases, and entirely unknown disorders. Despite advancements in clinical diagnostics, including exome sequencing, […] Read More
