Venue

The Magdeburg site of the German Center for Neurodegenerative Diseases (DZNE) Magdeburg is an ideal venue to host this meeting given its translational approach to research on aging and degenerative dementia. Concentrating on system perspectives, a key point of focus involves a comparison of humans and animals to develop functional biomarkers for early diagnosis of degenerative dementia and to identify the effects of new cognitive-physiological treatments at molecular, cellular and system level. The centre provides access to a range of cutting-edge research facilities, in particular those geared toward the investigation of spatial cognition. These include a full motion-tracking room, virtual reality facilities (in both humans and rodents), and state-of-the-art imaging facilities, including a high-field 7T MRI scanner, as well as the recently installed PET-MRI scanner.
