We're pleased to invite you to attend to the 2nd INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL OF CLINICAL NEUROANATOMY to be held 30th May - 1st June, 2012 in Ragusa, Sicily.
This year, the meeting is dedicated to the clinical neuroanatomy of the Occipital Lobes.
Wednesday 30th May
1. Neuroradiological anatomy of the occipital lobes (Alberto Bizzi, Milan)
2. Callosal connections of the occipital lobe (Giovanni Berlucchi, Verona)
3. Comparative anatomy of the occipital lobe connections (Stephanie Forkel & Michel Thiebaut de Schotten, London)
4. U-shaped short connections of the occipital lobe in humans (Marco Catani, London)
5. Keynote lecture: The dual visual pathway system revisited (Mortimer Mishkin, Bethesda)
Thursday 31st May
1. Early attempts to distinguish functional organization of the visual cortex (Malcom Macmillian, Melbourne)
2. Imaging functional organization of the human visual cortex (Rainer Goebel, Maastricht)
3. Stability and plasticity of the visual cortex (Frans Cornelissen).
4. Visual Imagery (Sergio Della Sala, Edinburgh)
Friday 1st June
1. Visual hallucinations in Charles Bonnet Syndrome, Lewy Body Dementia and psychosis (Dominic ffytche, London)
2. Alexia, dyslexia and the reading brain (Laurent Cohen, Paris)
3. Disorders of the dorsal pathways (Stephen Jackson, Nottingham)
4. Visual agnosias and disorders of visual imagery (Paolo Bartolomeo, Paris)
DTI tractography Workshop:
(Day 1, 16:00-18:00 pm). This is for learning how to use TrackVis software to define regions of interest, upload FA images, extract tract specific measurements, etc. If you are already familiar with TrackVis you may skip this first day of the workshop.
(Day 2, 16:00-18:00 pm). This second day is dedicated to hands-on virtual dissections of the occipital pathways. These include: short intralobar fibres and long association (ILF, IFOF, Cingulum), projection (Optic Radiations), and commissural (Splenium) pathways. Participants are expected to be familiar with TrackVis commands.
Deadline for abstract submission is 30 march 2012
Deadline for registration is 15 April 2012.
