Brain Anatomy Workshop
Theories - Methods - Applications
Our
Story
In 2020, I was awarded an Excellence Initiative grant to establish a research collaboration between the University of Bordeaux (UBX) and the Ludwig-Maximilian-University Munich (LMU).
Due to the pandemic, we developed an online Brain Anatomy Course rather than meeting in person. The benefit of this endeavour is that we can reach far beyond geographical borders (see figure above) and offer some of the lectures online.
Both teams have over 15 years of experience running neuroanatomy and neuroimaging workshops, but this is the first time we pooled our expertise.
This 2-day workshop covers the surface and subcortical anatomy, the neurobiology of common brain pathologies, connectional anatomy, and disconnection syndromes. Each topic is discussed with respect to theories, methods, and clinical applications.
Medical professionals, neuroscientists, and students attended our 2021, and we are elated to see a strong increase in attendance beyond Europe (see figure above).
Some of these talks will be available for OnDemand viewing on my YouTube channel: www.youtube.com/c/ClinicalNeuroanatomySeminars
