International
Conference
"Cortical
Dementias – Cognitive Deficits in Alzheimer's Disease"
Enormous progress has
been made in the exploration of the neurobiological bases of
dementia diseases during the past 10 to 15 years. Nevertheless,
the connection
between neuronal changes and functional deficits (such as speech
processing or memory
deficits in Alzheimer Disease) remains largely unknown. As of yet
unsolved is the question
to what extent the different functional deficits are related to each
other.
Concerning the connection between biological changes (e.g. atrophies)
and functional
deficits, it has been widely implied that, for instance, problems in
naming objects may
stem from an atrophy of relevant cerebral areas or limited access to
these areas resulting
from atrophy. However, such views improperly simplify and reduce the
complex connection
between the biological bases and functional performances of the brain.
The Neurolinguistic Laboratory and the Neuropsychology Lab (Department
of Psychology) of
the Albert-Ludwigs-University Freiburg i.Br. will be hosting the
international conference.
"Cortical
Dementias
Cognitive Deficits in Alzheimer's Disease"
on Friday, 24. 06., and Saturday,
25. 06. 2005.
Lectures of internationally renowned speakers are planned as well as
short oral
presentations and posters. One part of the conference will be a round
table discussion
about the evaluation of therapy, with representatives of the
pharmaceutical industry.
