– Introduction to the Meeting by Tomas Paus
10:00 am – 1:00 pm – SYMPOSIUM: Understanding Non-motor symptoms of Parkinson’s disease
Organizer: Antonio P. Strafella
Summary: In the last few years, Non-Motor symptoms like executive dysfunction and impulse control disorders have increasingly been reported inParkinson’s disease (PD) patients. Given the social implications, these disorders represent a cause of significant distress not only for the patients but mostly their families. To date, the mechanisms underlying cognitive abnormalities and behavioral addictions in PD are poorly understood. Proposed mechanisms include abnormal functioning of mesolimbic structures resulting in dysregulation of dopamine.

9:00 am – 12:00 pm: SYMPOSIUM: White Matter: From Structure to Function (Part I)
Organizer: Tomas Paus
Summary: Axons constituting white matter carry information across spatially distinct brain regions and, as such, play a key role in the smooth functioning of the brain. In this symposium, we will address a number of issues pertinent to the development and pathology of white matter, a compartment that occupies almost a half of the human brain. Topics will include the relative contribution of myelin and axon in driving volumetric changes in white matter during puberty (Juraska, Paus), relationship between white-matter microstructure and cognitive abilities (Beaulieu), nature of abnormalities in white matter in schizophrenia (Hulshoff-Pol) and those found after concussion (Ptito). We will also point out new methodological developments relevant for in vivo imaging of axonal transport (Canals), an often-neglected function of the axon.
