Unlocking cannabinoids: science and potential

In this ‘Meet the Expert’ session, we invite you to engage with our experts to try and unlock the science and potential of cannabinoids.
First, the Chair, neurologist Eugen Trinka from the University Hospital for the Paracelsus Medical University, will ask the audience questions to help them understand the increasing importance of cannabinoids in the world of medicine.
Second, our expert speaker, cannabinoid pharmacologist Alessia Ligresti from the National Research Council of Italy in Naples, will help to unlock exactly what we know about the action of cannabinoids in the human body.
Finally, as part of an engaging Q&A session, both experts will welcome questions from the audience on the potential of cannabinoids and the future of this fascinating topic in medicine.

Clinical Neurophysiology may assist both diagnostic approaches in neurodegenerative diseases. Here we will focus first on the contribution of neurophysiological techniques, in particular EEG and transcranial stimulation techniques in the diagnosis of dementias, movement disorders and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. Therapeutic approaches confined to non-invasive tools will very specifically cover magnetic seizure therapy as a most powerful tool in major depression. The role of transcranial alternating and direct current stimulation in neurodegenerative diseases will be supplemented by transcranial ultrasound stimulation data
