"Cortical Dementias – Cognitive Deficits in Alzheimer's Disease"

[DAT <DAT@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

 2. 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 of the Albert-Ludwigs-University Freiburg 
i.Br. will be hosting the international conference.
