Neural foundations of automatic speech comprehension in Parkinson’s disease: neuromagnetic investigations
2020.09.14 |

Tuesday 22 September at 13:00, Rasha Hyder defends her PhD dissertation entitled “Neural foundations of automatic speech comprehension in Parkinson’s disease: neuromagnetic investigations”.
While the current treatments of Parkinson’s disease (PD), dopaminergic medications and deep brain stimulation (DBS), are associated with remarkable alleviation of the motors symptoms, their impact on cognitive functions, particularly language, is still controversial. A new research project investigates the automatic stages of language comprehension in Parkinson’s disease (PD) and how their neurolinguistic processes are affected in patients depending on treatment strategy, either dopaminergic medication or deep brain stimulation of the subthalamic nucleus (STN-DBS).
The summary is written by the PhD student.
The defence is public and will be held in the Tvillingeauditorierne, Building 1324 - 011, Bartholins Allé, Aarhus University. Please read the attached press release for more information.
