Overarching Theme
Towards Precision Neurology
Diagnosis of neurological disorders has always been pivoted on precision. But nowadays we are moving much further to Precision Neurology, with its goal to synergize continuous gains of knowledge in clinical and experimental neurosciences to utmost individualised diagnoses and treatments. Precision Neurology, thus, spans from epidemiology to genetics, body fluid biomarkers and imaging in diagnosis and prognosis of rare and common neurological disorders as well as to targeted treatments based on personalized decisions and supported by new technologies, such as artificial intelligence.
This overarching theme will be in the focus of many sessions and may engage interest of all neurologists, being clinicians or scientists, general or specialized neurologists, younger or more advanced generations.
