11:00-11:30: Neurodegenerative disease, basic to clinic. New therapeutic perspectives. Luis Ley

Luis Ley is Head of Department at the Ramón y Cajal University Hospital. A national leader in cerebrovascular surgery and neuro-oncology, he collaborated in the development of the Radiosurgery Unit at the Puerta del Hierro Hospital. His expertise has led him to write numerous articles and contribute to books, and to serve as a university professor. He has also been president of the Madrid Society of Neurosurgery and is currently president of the Spanish Society of Neurosurgery.

11:30-12:30: Functional network alterations along the Alzheimer’s disease continuum, Fernando Maestú

Fernando Maestú is a professor of Cognitive Neuroscience in the Department of Experimental Psychology, Cognitive Processes, and Speech Therapy at the Complutense University of Madrid. His main scientific interest focuses on the study of human memory and forgetting, as well as plasticity phenomena. For more than 25 years, he has used magnetoencephalography (MEG) to decipher the electrophysiological bases of these phenomena, both in healthy individuals and in patients with acquired brain damage or neurodegenerative diseases. His main contribution concerns the description of changes in brain functional connectivity profiles in individuals in early and even preclinical stages of dementia. He has also significantly contributed to the understanding of plasticity phenomena following brain damage.
