I came across this on the Yahoo LBD Caregiver’s site and is also found on the LBDA forums.
The Alzheimer’s Research Forum is running a nine part series on an international Alzheimer’s Disease/Parkinson’s Disease conference held in March of ‘09 in Prague and on an international Dementia with Lewy Bodies/Parkinson’s Disease Dementia conference held a few days earlier in Prague.
Here’s a brief run-down I got from the above-mentioned sites:
- Part 1 is about overlaps between neurodegenerative diseases, proteins, genetics, and biomarkers.
- Part 2 is about a genome study of PD and MSA.
- Part 3 is about diagnosing and researching DLB.
- Part 4 is about the interplay between two proteins in DLB.
- Part 5 is about imaging biomarkers.
