SUMMARY:Exploring Deep Brain Stimulation to Improve Memory and Sleep in Alzheimer’s
DESCRIPTION:Summary: \nThis webinar will introduce what deep brain stimulation (DBS) is\, how it works\, and how it has been used in different parts of the brain. It will cover the methods used and what research has shown so far. \nThe webinar will also explore a study at the University Health Network in Toronto that is looking for participants. The study is testing DBS as a possible treatment for mild Alzheimer’s disease and is examining whether sending gentle electrical signals to a specific part of the brain can help improve memory\, thinking\, and sleep. \nThis webinar is free to attend and is presented in plain language. You will have the opportunity have questions. \nFor more information on the study\, visit: https://tdra.utoronto.ca/study/pilot-study-investigating-deep-brain-stimulation-new-approach-treating-mild-alzheimers \nThis webinar is presented in partnership with the Toronto Dementia Research Alliance \n  \nAbout the Presenter \nDr. Taufik Valiante is a Professor of Surgery at the University of Toronto and a neurosurgeon at Toronto Western Hospital\, where he leads the Surgical Epilepsy Program. He is also Director of CRANIA (the Centre for Advancing Neurotechnological Innovation to Application)\, Co-Director of the Max Planck–University of Toronto Centre for Neural Science and Technology\, and a Senior Scientist at both the Krembil Research Institute and The KITE Research Institute. \nDr. Valiante’s research focuses on understanding how the brain works and developing new devices to treat brain conditions such as epilepsy and Alzheimer’s disease. His work combines medicine\, engineering\, and neuroscience to create innovative tools that can record and change brain activity. These advances could one day improve treatment for a wide range of brain disorders.
