SUMMARY:Dementia Training for Kalaupapa
DESCRIPTION:This Positive Approach to Care (PAC) Approved workshop helps learners understand and recognize the differences in normal and not normal aging. The learner will develop better observational skills to recognize and intervene effectively when behavioral challenges occur. Learners will also develop new skills related to approach\, cueing\, and the ability to connect with people affected by dementia. The workshop will also address typical changes that happen in the early\, middle\, and late stages of the condition including the final care concerns. \nWorkshop Objectives: \n\nCompare and contrast normal aging versus not normal aging related to various cognitive functions.\nDescribe the five sensory input and processing systems\, highlighting the dominant role of vision\, and the major differences between protective and discriminating sensation in each.\nDiscuss the impact of changing sensory awareness and processing as dementia progresses.\nDemonstrate how to communicate well with people living with dementia and practice de-escalation strategies for dealing with behaviors. \n\nPresenter: Courtney DiMaggio\, RN\, Positive Approach to Care Certified Independent Trainer  \nBorn and raised on the island of Molokaʻi\, Courtney DiMaggio is a devoted wife\, mother\, and daughter\, as well as a dedicated Registered Nurse.

SUMMARY:Neuroscience Symposium - From Inflammation to Intervention\, Neuroimmune Crossroads: Mechanisms\, Models\, and Medicine
DESCRIPTION:Neuroinflammation lies at the intersection of immune signaling\, neural circuitry\, and disease progression. Over the past decade\, extraordinary advances have deepened our understanding of microglial activation states\, peripheral immune infiltration\, cytokine signaling cascades\, and the long-term consequences of inflammatory stress on cognition and behavior. \nThe challenge before us is clear: \n\nHow do we move from descriptive findings to actionable therapeutic targets in brain tumors\, migraine\, sleep disorders\, and epilepsy?\nHow do we design interventions that modulate inflammatory pathways without disrupting essential neuroimmune communication in multiple sclerosis (MS)\, CIDP\, epilepsy\, headache disorders\, and myasthenia gravis?\nHow can we integrate biomarkers\, advanced imaging\, and AI-driven computational models to predict therapeutic response in Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease?\n\nThis conference is a call to refine our tools and bridge the gap between mechanism and intervention. As we move from neuroinflammation to neurointervention\, we are not merely mapping pathways—we are building bridges: between academia\, clinical science\, industry\, government\, and advocacy communities. \nJoin us as more than 250 members of the interdisciplinary neuroscience community—spanning neurology\, psychiatry\, immunology\, psychology\, neurosurgery\, and translational research—come together to transform neuroinflammation from a diagnostic clue into a therapeutic opportunity.
