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. These webcasts will be posted on the BBC website at http://www.belgianbraincouncil.be Jean Schoenen & Rufin Vogels on behalf of the organizing committee.

Coming from Kortrijk, Lille, Paris: E17 direction Antwerp Take the Exit 'Gent Centrum' (see below) Coming from Brussels: E40 Brussels - Ostend Follow E17, direction Antwerp at the Zwijnaarde traffic junction Take the Exit 'GentCentrum' (see below) Coming from Ostend, London E40 Ostend – Brussels Follow E17, direction Antwerp at the Zwijnaarde traffic junction Take the Exit 'GentCentrum' (see below) At the exit Gent Centrum: Follow the Exit ‘Andere richtingen’ (You are now leaving the highway) Turn left at the traffic lights beneath the overpass You are now entering the St.-Lievenslaan Follow direction S.M.A.K. at the third traffic lights Drive along the S.M.A.K. museum (on your right hand side) 50 m further you will find the ICC International Convention Centre Ghent on your right hand side.
Coming from Lille, Paris: Take a train to Brussels, change at Brussels Midi and take an IC train to Ostend or Knokke-Blankenberge. Ghent is the first stop (GentSint-Pieters). Coming from Ostend, London: Take an IC train to Brussels. Ghent is the second stop (Gent-Sint-Pieters) (first stop is Bruges). On your arrival at the Gent-SintPieters Railway Station you can either walk to the ICC (1.1 km = 15 minutes - to walk click here) or take bus 70 or 71 or 72 or 76 (bus station platforms 15 & 16) that all stop at the Ledeganckstraat directly opposite the entrance of the ICC. All of these as well as the lines 73 and 74 drive from the Ledeganckstraat to the Gent-SintPieters Railway Station.
