The first SSIF Online Symposium in neurology is: Advances in frontotemporal dementias.
These online lectures were first presented at a satellite symposium held during the 21st ENS (European Neurological Society) Congress in Lisbon, Portugal - May 30, 2011. These lectures are available in online format free of charge to registered users of the SSIF website.
Frontotemporal dementia (FTD) is the second most common early-onset dementia after Alzheimer's disease. The Serono Symposia International Foundation satellite symposium at ENS Meeting provided a comprehensive overview of pathogenetic mechanisms, diagnostic tools and phenoptypes in this increasingly relevant neurodegenerative condition.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
At the end of this symposium participants will have:
- A review of the most relevant pathogenetic mechanisms of FTD
- An update on MRI diagnostic criteria
- An overview of the clinical heterogeneity
The online symposium comprises the following lectures:
- Pathological and molecular genetic correlates
David Mann, UK - Role of the MRI in the diagnosis
Federica Agosta, Italy - Clinical heterogeneity
Stefano Cappa, Italy
This online symposium will be appropriate for scientists, clinicians, biologists, working in the field of neurology, will benefit from this symposium.
