Track: Neuro-Ophthalmology & Visual Neuroscience

The "Neuro-Ophthalmology & Visual Neuroscience" track delves into the intricate relationship between the brain and visual system, exploring how neurological disorders can affect vision and ocular health. This track emphasizes the latest advancements in diagnosing and managing visual disturbances related to neurological conditions, as well as the cutting-edge research on the neural pathways that govern vision. Participants will gain insights into how neuroimaging, genetics, and advanced therapies are enhancing the diagnosis and treatment of various neuro-ophthalmic disorders.

Neuro-Ophthalmic Examination and Diagnostic Techniques:

This session will provide a comprehensive overview of advanced diagnostic methods in neuro-ophthalmology, including visual field testing, optical coherence tomography (OCT), and electrophysiological testing. Emphasis will be placed on how these tools aid in the detection of neurological diseases that affect the visual system, such as multiple sclerosis, optic neuritis, and brain tumors.

Neurodegenerative Diseases and Vision:

Explore the relationship between neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease, and visual dysfunction. This session will cover how these conditions impact visual processing, from retinal changes to cortical processing of visual information, and discuss the latest neuroimaging techniques used to detect early signs of visual impairment in neurodegenerative diseases.

Optic Neuropathies and Their Management:

This session will focus on the pathophysiology, diagnosis, and management of optic neuropathies, including optic neuritis, optic atrophy, and ischemic optic neuropathy. Participants will learn about emerging treatment strategies and the role of neuroimaging in assessing optic nerve damage.

The Role of the Retina in Neurological Disorders:

This session will focus on the retina as a window to the brain, examining how retinal imaging can be used to assess neurological conditions. Participants will learn how changes in retinal structure and function may indicate neurodegenerative diseases, multiple sclerosis, and other neurological disorders, with an emphasis on the latest advancements in retinal imaging technologies.

Visual Processing and the Cortical Visual System:

Explore the mechanisms of visual processing in the brain, particularly how the cortical visual system interprets visual information from the eyes. This session will discuss how brain lesions, such as those seen in stroke or neurodegenerative diseases, can disrupt visual perception and lead to conditions like visual agnosia or prosopagnosia.

Genetics of Neuro-Ophthalmological Disorders:

This session will cover the genetic basis of various neuro-ophthalmic disorders, including inherited optic neuropathies, Leber hereditary optic neuropathy, and other conditions that affect the optic nerve and visual pathways. Participants will gain insights into genetic testing, molecular mechanisms, and the potential for gene therapies in treating these disorders.

Neuro-Ophthalmology and Pediatric Disorders:

This session will focus on neuro-ophthalmic disorders in children, such as congenital optic nerve hypoplasia, infantile strabismus, and visual disturbances caused by pediatric brain tumors. It will cover the latest diagnostic approaches and management strategies for these conditions, with an emphasis on the importance of early detection and intervention.

Neuro-Ophthalmology and Autoimmune Diseases:

Explore the link between autoimmune diseases like multiple sclerosis, neuromyelitis optica, and systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and their impact on vision. This session will discuss how these conditions can lead to optic neuritis, myelitis, and other neuro-ophthalmic manifestations, as well as the latest advances in immunomodulatory therapies.

Advances in Visual Neuroscience: From Retinal to Cortical Circuits:

This session will examine cutting-edge research into the neural circuits that govern vision, from the retina to the visual cortex. Attendees will learn about recent breakthroughs in visual neuroscience, including how neurons in the retina, optic nerve, and visual cortex communicate to process visual stimuli, and how disruptions in these circuits can lead to vision loss.

The Neuro-Ophthalmology & Visual Neuroscience track will provide participants with a comprehensive understanding of the relationship between the brain and vision, offering cutting-edge research and clinical insights that are critical for advancing the diagnosis and management of neuro-ophthalmic disorders.
