Darin Dougherty - Neurotherapeutic Interventions in PsychiatryDarin Dougherty, MD, MSc
MGH Abstract: While the majority of patients with psychiatric illness respond to conventional treatments (e.g., psychotherapy, pharmacotherapy), a minority do not and are considered treatment-resistant. For these patients, neurotherapeutic interventions may be warranted. Neurotherapeutic interventions refer to surgical and/or device-related treatments and include electroconvulsive therapy (ECT), transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), ablative limbic system surgery (e.g., anterior cingulotomy, limbic leukotomy), epidural cortical stimulation (EpCS), and deep brain stimulation (DBS). I will review our experience with each of these procedures at MGH and will include results from concurrent imaging studies regarding the pathophysiology of these illnesses, changes associated with these interventions, and the potential utility of using pretreatment neuroimaging to predict subsequent response. I will conclude with a review of possible future directions within the field of psychiatric neurotherapeutics including targeted delivery of neurotransmitters or neurotrophic growth factors and optogenetics. |

SEVENTEENTH INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE
ON COGNITIVE AND NEURAL SYSTEMS
Sponsored by the Boston University
Center for Adaptive Systems,
Center for Computational Neuroscience and Neural Technology (CompNet),
and
Center of Excellence for Learning in Education, Science, and Technology (CELEST)
with financial support from the National Science Foundation
This interdisciplinary conference is attended each year by approximately 300 people from 30 countries around the world. As in previous years, the conference will focus on solutions to the questions:
HOW DOES THE BRAIN CONTROL BEHAVIOR?
HOW CAN TECHNOLOGY EMULATE BIOLOGICAL INTELLIGENCE?
The conference is aimed at researchers and students of computational neuroscience, cognitive science, neural networks, neuromorphic engineering, and artificial intelligence. It includes invited lectures and contributed lectures and posters by experts on the biology and technology of how the brain and other intelligent systems adapt to a changing world. The conference is particularly interested in exploring how the brain and biologically-inspired algorithms and systems in engineering and technology can learn. Single-track oral and poster sessions enable all presented work to be highly visible. Three-hour poster sessions with no conflicting events will be held on two of the conference days. Posters will be up all day, and can also be viewed during breaks in the talk schedule.
