Congress Committee ISNIP ECNS ISBET

It is a great pleasure for us to invite you to
the 14th conference of the International
Society for Neuroimaging in Psychiatry
jointly organized with the EEG and Clinical
Neuroscience Society and the International
Society
for
Brain
Electromagnetic
Topography. The main topic this year will
be:
NEUROIMAGING THROUGH THE LIFESPAN: Brain development and brain
diseases from adolescence to
senescence.
Using neuroimaging techniques different
aspects
of
cerebral
structure
and
functioning can be visualized. With the
advent of new technologies and tools for
image analyses the respective parameters
can be monitored with great accuracy.
However, little is known about the
physiological changes of the brain through
the lifespan and their interactions with agerelated diseases (e.g. schizophrenia in
adolescence and early adulthood or
dementias in advanced age). The
Heidelberg ISNIP conference aims at
stimulating systematic research in these
fields and to facilitate clinical application.
Hence, researchers from all areas of
neuroimaging are cordially invited.
The conference is hosted by the Heidelberg
Ruprecht-Karls-University
within
the
framework of the 625 years anniversary and
will be held at the traditional university
building situated in the heart of the old
town.
