Other webinars from the Clinical Neurosciences Section
Diagnosing and managing cerebral small vessel disease
Small vessel disease is recognised as a common pathology associated with ageing, but its variability in terms of imaging and outcomes makes dealing with and counselling affected patients challenging. Professor Hugh Markus is an authority on this topic and will discuss the latest findings and how genetics help us understand it better.
Embodied brains and disembodied minds: Reviving the golden age of neurology
V.S. Ramachandran, the renowned neurologist and neuroscientist, will give a fascinating session on how the brain and body interact. He will use case descriptions to illustrate how each requires the other and each impacts on the other - often with non-intuitive results.
Not just a pain: Aspects and impact of migraines
Migraines are common and more complex than commonly assumed - affecting up to 1 in 5 women and 1 in 8 men - additionally day to day life interactions and life stage can make them difficult to manage. In this webinar patient impact aspects such as cognition, fatigue, and sleep will be explored, and treatments at different stages of women's lives discussed.
