Belgian Brain Congress 2014
2 After Genval (2006), Ostend (2008), Brussels (2010) and Liège (2012), Ghent
welcomes the 5th edition of the Belgian Brain Congress. By definition, the BBC
congresses aim to be multidisciplinary even “transdisciplinary”, meaning they are
evolving simultaneously between, through and beyond disciplines and focus on
helping to understand the complexity of the brain and brain diseases.
During the last decade it has become evident that activity of brain areas and circuits can
be modulated by a number of different so-called neuromodulatory methods ranging from
electrical stimulation to drug treatment and behavioural therapies. Neuromodulation has
opened novel perspectives to alleviate neurological and psychiatric symptoms in various
brain disorders and dysfunctions. Neuromodulation has also raised much interest in the
general population because it has the potential to modify function and performance of
the normal human brain.
It seems timely therefore to present and discuss comprehensively the advantages and
limitations of the different neuromodulation methods in brain disorders and to have an
overview on present knowledge of the mechanisms of action of these methods. It is also
a crucial societal issue to know whether neuromodulation methods should be
recommended for cognitive enhancement and what the risks of such interventions are.
Novel therapeutic treatment of nervous system disorders represents one of the most
significant and unmet needs in modern medicine. Deep-brain Stimulation (DBS)
strategies have been shown to be remarkably effective for treating a number of
neurological and psychiatric conditions including Parkinson’s Disease, dystonia, essential
tremor, epilepsy, chronic pain, major depression, migraines, as well as a number of other
conditions.
The BBC 2014 congress aims at providing this information to health providers, but also to
patients and caregivers, in a transdisciplinary program spanning from the basic to the
clinical neurosciences, and to medico-social matters.
The Ghent BBC 2014 Congress, as a participant of the “2014 Year of the Brain”, will be
launched as a forum in which European researchers and clinicians will communicate and
interact with a large panel of stakeholders including patients associations and policy
makers interested in this innovative field.
Target audience:
•
Health care professionals interested in neurological issues
•
Neuroscientists and students
•
Members of patients & family associations
•
Policy makers
•
Health journalists
•
Industrial stakeholders

The 3 winners will be interviewed and video-‐recorded for podcasting. The recipients of the 3 Prizes (250 € each) will be announced at the closing ceremony. Only poster authors who are present at the closing ceremony will receive the Prize (presence mandatory). In case presenters of the best posters are absent, the 2nd best will receive the prize. Webcasts Webcasts will be produced during the congress. Invited speakers, selected poster presenters and representatives from the patients’ associations will be asked to briefly summarize their message and significance for understanding brain functions and managing its dysfunctions.
