The Rotman Research Institute of Baycrest was inaugurated in 1989. Its
first conference, held in 1990, focused on one of the strategic
research foci of the Institute – the frontal lobes. The three day
conference was sold out, with approximately 500 attendees. In 2000,
Baycrest joined forces with Berkeley to hold the second Rotman
conference on the frontal lobes. This five day scientific meeting was
attended by some 850 individuals from 33 different countries.
Baycrest/Berkeley are once again joining forces to organize for 2010
the 20th Rotman Research Institute Conference, and its third focusing
on the frontal lobes. To celebrate the event, there will be three
keynote speakers; over 40 internationally recognized presenters
organized into nine thematic areas with all sessions plenary;
interactive discussions among presenters and audience; moderated poster
sessions; and two trainee awards for each of three poster sessions, for
the best posters of that session. The number of attendees this time is
uncertain, but space is limited.By the end of the conference, participants will be able to:
- identify the anatomy and pathophysiology of frontal lobe function and dysfunction
- recognize the value of neuropharmacological, neurophysiological and neuroimaging assessment and treatment procedures
- identify the expression of frontal lobe function and dysfunction across maturational stages
- recognize the breadth of frontal lobe functions, from cognitive to emotional
- differentially diagnose frontal lobe dysfunctions in neurological and psychiatric disorders
- critically evaluate the rehabilitation of frontal lobe dysfunctions
The conference will be of interest to researchers, clinicians, academics, postdoctoral fellows, residents, and graduate students in the areas of clinical, cognitive and neuro -psychology, neurology, psychiatry, family medicine, rehabilitation and related disciplines.
