Talk: Neuroimaging in degenerative dementia
Speaker: Jung Lung Hsu MD, PhD Topic: Neuroimaging in degenerative dementia Date: 2019.12.13 (Fri.) 15:00 pm-17:00 pm Location: 12F Conference room, Daan Campus, Taipei Medical University Abstract: Dementia is a clinical syndrome which composes of cognitive changes, behavior problem and daily activity changes. Many of different etiologies could produce the dementia syndrome. In them, about 60-70% of patients with dementia are neurodegenerative processes and the diagnosis of these patients with dementia need neuropathology evidence. Recently advanced of neuroimaging techniques provide us an opportunity to discriminate different degenerative dementia syndrome before patients receive autopsy. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) remains at the core of differential diagnosis, with specific patterns of cortical and subcortical changes having diagnostic significance. Recent developments in molecular PET imaging techniques have opened the door for not only antemortem but early, even preclinical, diagnosis of underlying pathology. This is vital, as treatment trials are underway for pharmacological agents with specific molecular targets, and numerous failed trials suggest that earlier treatment is needed. In this presentation, I will provide the progression of neuroimaging in diagnosis of degenerative dementia. The pathophysiological process related to the dementia study by neuroimaging will be also provided.

Talk: What wakes us up: Networked circadian clocks in the brain
Speaker: Erik Herzog Date: 2019.10.7 (Mon.) 15:00-17:00 pm Location: B204 Conference room, Daan Campus, Taipei Medical University Abstract: Nearly every cell in the body and brain contains the molecular machinery to generate daily rhythms in physiology. These cells must synchronize to each other and to the local light cycle to coordinate daily rhythms in metabolism, hormone secretion, and […]
Talk: Spatial Touch Empirical and Philosophical Investigations
Speaker: Tony Cheng 鄭會穎 Date: 2019.10.4 (Fri.) 15:30-17:30 pm Location: 12F Conference room, Daan Campus, Taipei Medical University Abstract: cognitive neuroscience, and philosophy, investigations into perception tend to be visiocentric. There have always been studies of touch or the tactile sense, but in terms of both quality and quantity they are incomparable with those of vision or audition. On […]
