With a two hour consecutive session I can
cover the whole nervous system and work
through some examples. I do this as an
interactive session, asking questions, getting
audience participation and drawing the
NeuroMap as I go. I have done it for an
audience of up to 60 people. People are less

This lecture will cover the diverse array of
causes of recumbency and neurologic
dysfunction in aplacas and llamas, with
discussion regarding traditional and new
diagnostic procedures for evaluating such
cases, and various treatment and
management techniques.
This comprehensive review will focus on the
current knowledge of equine NAD/EDM,
including affected breeds, clinical
presentation, serum and CSF alpha-
tocopherol status, electrodiagnostic findings
and ongoing genetic investigation into the
etiology of the disease. No
We will begin with an overview of the
pathogenesis of DM. We will discuss the
clinical signs and breed predilection
associated with the disease, how it is
diagnosed, and the treatments currently
available. The nursing care and the physical
rehabilitation exercises that are beneficial
for these patients will be discussed in detail.
A patient's neurologic status can rapidly
change, therefore the technician should be
able to perform an examinaton and
recognize deficits. This will discuss the
neurologic evaluation including the
assessment of mentation, gate,
proprioception, cranial nerves, spinal
reflexes, pain perception and spinal
hyperesthesia, as well as how to properly
neurolocalize the patient based on this
assessment.

The hereditiary cerebellar ataxias
(spinocerebellar ataxias or cerebellar
abiotrophies) affect a number of breeds.
Participants wil recognize the signs of
cerebellar dysfunction and the clues to a
genetic cause; utilize DNA testing to
diagnose and eliminate the diseases; and
appreciate how gene discovery contributes
to our understanding of cerebellar functions. OFA
A literature review of the recent advances in
canine neuro-oncology, followed by
presentation of advances made at Purdue
Veterinary Medicine during the last 12
months. Intended content includes results of
proteomic analysis of canine cancer stem
cells, results of a prognostic study of
meningiomas, and results of comparison
between MRI appearance and brain tumor
histopathological analysis.
Localising the lesion is the key to successful
neurology. The NeuroMap is an easy,

nervous system. It helps the clinician

Cognitive dysfunction syndrome(CDS) is a
common disorder of aging dogs that is
similar to human Alzheimer's disease (AD).
Similarities include progressive dementia
and pathologic changes in the brain (brain
atrophy, beta-amyloid deposition, neuronal
accumulation of tau protein). Clinical
features of CDS will be discussed and
compared with AD of humans. Diagnosis and
therapy of CDS will be covered. No
Congenital brain and cervical spine disorders
in dogs are frequent and include
hydrocephalus, Intracranial arachnoid cyst,
Chiari-like malformation, atlanto-occipital
overlap, atlantoaxial instability and others.
Surgical management of these disorders will
be discussed, including the treatment of
multiple malformations in the same patient.
Comparisons will be made with analogous
human disorders. No
Inhibition of the transcription factor, NF-kB,
with a small peptide reduced morbidity in
the mdx mouse model of Duchenne
muscular dystrophy (DMD) through its
combined anti-inflammatory and pro-
regenerative effects in muscle. This work has
been extended to the golden retriever
muscular dystrophy (GRMD) model. Results
of functional, imaging, and histopathologic
studies are discussed. No.
Cervical spondylomyelopathy in dogs bear
significant similarities to cervical spondylotic
myelopathy in people. The knowledge on
human CSM can provide important insights
in our understanding of pathogenesis,
treatment and natural history of canine
CSM. This presentation will compare both
diseases, highlighting the current knowledge
in dogs compared with the human
counterpart.
Cervical spondylomyelopathy (CSM) is a one
of the most controversial diseases in
veterinary medicine. No fewer than 22
surgical techniques have been proposed to
treat it. This presentation aims to discuss the
treatment methods currently available for
CSM, comparing their advantages and
disadvantages, success rate and
complications. We will also discuss outcome
assessments and long-term follow-up.
The presentation will briefly review currently
available veterinary brain biopsy techniques.
Based on experience with over 150 biopsies ,
specific issues relating to biopsy will be
reviewed including case selection, technical
issues, sample handling and processing,
diagnostic criteria and outcomes, and
complications. Recommendations will be
made to maximize diagnostic yield and
minimize morbidity.
Canine degenerative myelopathy (DM) is
analogous to forms of amyotrophic lateral
sclerosis (ALS) in humans that also result
from SOD1 mutations. Reliable and objective
disease markers are essential to diagnose
and monitor progression of DM and evaluate
treatment strategies. We will describe
potential disease markers that confirm
similarities between ALS and DM.
I have been a neurologist for 20 years and a
musician for over 38 years. I teach a yearly
seminar course with topics including the
neurobiology of music. I will discuss the
neural origins of music and the effect music
has on behavior and brain imaging.

Results of 4 years of craniospinal steriotactic
radiotherapy will be presented. Suvival data,
complications and technique will be
described.
Intracranial disease (epilepsy, strokes,
tumors, encephalitis), spinal disease (disc
disease, wobblers, degenerative myelopathy
and discospondylitis), neuromuscular
disease (polyradiculoneuritis, myasthenia
gravis) will be discussed in the context of
severity of disease, supportive/definitive
care and prognosis.
Rodent models have become an accepted
platform for understanding spinal cord injury
(SCI) and studing therapeutics. There are
limitations inherent to these model systems
and the best means of applying data is
controversial. The goals of this presentation
are to i) review common rodent SCI models;
ii) discuss the strengths/weakness of these
models; and iii) comment on clinical utility of
data.
