Workshop on Hemispherectomy
The goal of this workshop is to review 20 years of experience in cerebral hemispherectomy around the world, addressing both clinical and scientific aspects of presurgical evaluation (including timing of surgery), surgical techniques, pathology, as well as postoperative outcomes in areas of psychosocial, cognitive, language and motor development.
This meeting is the first workshop to merge neurologists and neurosurgeons with neuropsychologists, neuroscientists and rehabilitation specialists. We hope that the Workshop will bridge clinical knowledge with insights into cortical plasticity and reorganization from basic science.
The target audience includes epileptologists, (pediatric) neurologists, (pediatric) neurosurgeons, clinical and basic neurophysiologists, neuropsychiatrists, neuropsychologists, neuroscientists, linguists and rehabilitation specialists. We hope to welcome established professionals as well as neurologists and neuroscientists in training.
