Brain Matters 3 Conference! Values at the crossroads of Neurology, Psychiatry, and Psychology








*Deadline for abstract submissions: May 15, 2012







Brain Matters 3: 


Values at the Crossroads of Neurology,

Psychiatry and Psychology 


October 24th-25th, 2012









This conference provides a venue for
collaboration and learning in the area of neuroethics. The plenary
speakers of this conference will address ethical challenges in the
treatment and research for conditions with neurological symptomatology
but that are without identifiable biological correlates/causes. The
complexities of suffering and disability experienced by individuals with
these conditions are significant, including exposure to dangerous and
futile treatments.





Parallel sessions will include accepted
abstracts from a broad range of neuroethics interests.  At this
conference, presentations will be given by patients, physicians,
neuroscientists, and ethicists and is intended to appeal to a broad
audience.  Please see the call for abstracts and conference information
at http://www.clevelandclinic.org/BrainMatters3.
