Thursday July 13th Webinar
Posted: Wed Jul 12, 2017 2:19 am
Join us for the next free webinar presented by Stefan Clemens, PhD, HdR:
RLS & The Dopaminergic System
Thu, Jul 13, 2017 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM -6 UTC (in North America, this is CDT).
Dr. Clemens will discuss the role of dopamine and its impact on RLS, particularly its effects in the spinal cord as the primary site of signal input for sensations from the legs to enter the nervous system. Dopaminergic pathways in the brain synthesize and release the neurotransmitter dopamine via several projection pathways, only one of which has access to the spinal cord. Dr. Clemens will provide background on the mechanism of the dopamine system in the spinal cord, present current research findings and trends, and illustrate how these findings impact those suffering with RLS.
Dr. Clemens will spend the first half of the hour covering this topic. The second half of the hour is reserved for answering questions on this topic submitted with pre-registration.
This webinar will be recorded and made available shortly after the live presentation.
