The main goal of the Workshop is o present and discuss the application of innovative laser and optical technologies in the clinical and basic studies of brain physiology and pathophysiology. The main attention will be paid to discussion of applications of optoelectronics, laser speckle imaging, optical coherent tomography, fluorescent, confocal and multiphoton microscopy, NIRS, MRI, modeling and mathematical analysis in the study of:
- Cerebral blood flow
- Cerebral lymphatics
- Blood-brain barrier
- Brainoncology
- Brain trauma
- Neurodegenerative diseases
- Stroke
The scope and content of the Conference Scientific Program may cover, but in no way is restricted to, the following topic areas:
- Lasers and optical technologies in the study of lymphatics of central nervous system
- Optical techniques for the analysis in vivo the blood-brain barrier function
- Models ex vivo of blood-brain barrier
- Photodynamic therapy in the brain oncology
- Laser Doppler and coherent-domain methods for the analysis of cerebral circulation;
- Mathematical methods and modeling of patho- and physiology of cerebral vessels;
- Photoacoustic imaging and in vivo cytometry
- Multiphotonopticalimaging
- Optogenetics
- Raman, NIR, MIR and THz imaging of brain tumor margins
