RSM President's Prize: Incisionless Brain Surgery

About this event
Date and time
Tue 11 Oct 2022 from 5:30pm to 8:15pm
Location
Online
Organised by
Clinical Neurosciences
Historically, surgical access to specific locations within the brain has been limited due to its vast complexity and critical structures which may block the route to the target. However, new options now exist to access these regions without the need for an opening in the scalp or skull.

Attend this event to learn about incisionless brain surgery techniques from the new Clinical Neurosciences President, Mr Jonathan Hyam. He will lecture on the procedure and outcome of stereotactic radiosurgery and MR-guided focused ultrasound, as well as the ever-expanding list of conditions which can be treated using these techniques.

We are offering 20 bursary places at this event for Trainees. Please contact our customer service team to apply by emailing [email protected].

Attend this event to:

Develop familiarity with incisionless brain surgery techniques
Understand which neurological conditions can be treated using incisionless brain surgery
Gain knowledge of specific goals and outcomes of incisionless brain surgery

The President's prize will be awarded during this meeting for the best oral presentation. Please see the details below to enter.

Gordon Holmes Prize and Lecture The Gordon Holmes Prize is an important meeting point for established and young researchers in neuroscience

28 June 2022

17.00 - 20.30

Hybrid In-Person/Live Stream

Gordon Holmes Prize and Lecture

The Gordon Holmes Prize is an important meeting point for both established and young researchers in neuroscience to get updates on new research areas as well as get a chance to interact and shape the future.

In the first session of this event, we will be showcasing poster and in-person presentations from young neuroscience researchers submitted for the Gordon Holmes Prize. This is an opportunity to hear what work is being done by young colleagues and for them to highlight important new directions in neuroscience.

The second session will be a lecture from a world authority on new trends in epilepsy, Professor Fabrice Bartolomei. Professor Bartolomei is one of the world’s leading experts on brain networks in epilepsy and will be discussing the exciting new options this approach offers in the treatment of medication-resistant focal seizures.

Learning objectives include:

An update on new research areas
An improved understanding of new concepts in epilepsy
An update on the role of intracranial recording in the investigation of imaging-negative epilepsy

Students and trainees in neurosciences, including neurology, neurosurgery, neurophysiology, neuropathology or neuroradiology.

Application guidelines

Applicants are invited to submit no more than 500-word summaries of research that they have carried out. Those considered to be the best will be asked to give a 10-minute presentation (including 3 minutes discussion) at a meeting of the Section. Factors that will be taken into account in the assessment of the research will include the originality, the degree to which the research was carried by the presenter, the difficulty of the work and the extent to which it throws new light and understanding on any aspect of the aetiology, epidemiology, pathogenesis, diagnosis, investigation, treatment or management of patients, and the importance and relevance in clinical practice, as well as the clarity of presentation.
