2024 Virtual Series:
The Unified Brain: At the Interface of Neurology and Psychiatry
About this Series:
Neurology and Psychiatry focus on different aspects of the nervous system, but the same organ is at the heart of both disciplines: the brain. Join IPS as we explore areas of overlap between neurology and psychiatry. We’ll cover the latest findings and best treatment practices for Conversion Disorder, PANDAS, Traumatic Brain Injury, and Alzheimer’s Disease. Let’s explore the cutting edge of neuropsychiatry together!
