 List of Topics

  1. Etiology, pathogenesis, clinical features, points of convergence and differences in -

    • minimal cognitive impairment (MCI)
    • Alzheimer's disease (AD) including also non-cognitive aspects
    • vascular dementia
    • cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA)
    • Parkinson's disease (PD), PD dementia, atypical PD
    • Non motor symptoms in PD
    • Lewy body dementia (LBD)
    • frontotemporal dementia (FTD)
    • movement disorders other than PD (Tics, Restless Legs Syndrome, Dystonia)
    • schizophrenia
    • neurodevelopment and neurodegeneration

  2. Genetics of AD and PD


  3. Neurogenetics of AD, PD, FTD; genetic basis for responsiveness to approved drugs and pharmacogenomics


  4. Epidemiology and pharmacoeconomics in dementia and PD


  5. Biomarkers, diagnostics and genetic aspects of neurodegenerative diseases


  6. Neuroimaging - its role in early diagnosis and evaluation of clinical trials in MCI, AD, PD, LBD


  7. Functional neuroimaging in PD and other movement disorders


  8. Leading hypotheses on neurodegeneration, major risk factors and culprits in neurodegenerative diseases such as AD, PD, LBD, CAA, FTD


  9. Physiological and pathological role of β-amyloid, intracellular β-amyloid, its precursors, β-amyloid modulation and removal


  10. Tau and mechanistic aspects


  11. Oxidative stress, apolipoprotein-E, axonal transport and others; mechanistic aspects in neurodegeneration


  12. AD, PD, LBD, FTD: Animal models


  13. Potential disease modification in AD (α -, β - and γ- secretases as targets; prevention of β -amyloid aggregation)


  14. Treatment and potential disease modification in AD, CAA {direct and receptor-mediated modulation of kinases involved in the etiopathogenesis)


  15. Cholinergic treatments in neurodegenerative diseases via cholinomimetics (cholinesterase inhibitors, cholinergic agonists and others)


  16. Role of cholesterol in β -amyloid modulation - basic and therapeutic aspects in AD


  17. Low molecular weight glycosaminoglycans and β-sheet breakers as potential agents in the treatment of neurodegenerative disorders


  18. Immunotherapies and related strategies in AD


  19. Mechanism and treatment strategies in PD, PD dementia and atypical PD


  20. Treatment of motor and non motor symptoms and complications in PD


  21. Dopamine agonists and neuroprotection in PD and related disorders


  22. LBD: Basic and therapeutic strategies (e.g. prevention of α-synuclein aggregation)


  23. α-Synuclein and proteosome system in PD and related disorders


  24. Stem cells, gene therapies, surgical strategies and others in neurodegenerative diseases


  25. The impact of proteomics in AD/PD research
