Markus A Hobert
Markus A. Hobert is specialist for neurology an geriatrics at the University of Luebeck. His clinical focus is on neurogeriatrics, Parkinson's disease, dementia and deep brain stimulation. His scientific focus is on quantitative movement analysis, geriatric assessment and motor-cognitive interaction during walking in geriatric patients and patients with neurodegenerative diseases.
Gay R. Holstein
Associate Professor of Neurology, Neuroscience, and Cell Biology/Anatomy at the Mount Sinai School of Medicine, NYC.
Marco Iacoboni
I am a neurologist and systems neuroscientist originally from Rome. I am interested in perception-action coupling. My interest in perception-action coupling led me to the study, among other things, of mirror neurons. Mirror neurons led me to study human imitation, empathy, and more generally what is called social cognition. As a neurologist, however, I also have a strong interest in the neurobiological mechanisms of neuropsychiatric conditions and how to intervene on those mechanisms.
Faizan Kashoo
Mr. Faizan Zaffar Kashoo is affiliated with the University of Majma'ah's Department of Applied Medical Sciences. He is currently serving in the role of lecturer. He has published numerous articles in national and international peer-reviewed journals and presented scientific papers worldwide. Because of the contributions and active association with various societies and academies. Subject-matter experts all over the world acknowledge him. His contributions are recognized by numerous prestigious awards, including the best inventor award at the 43rd inventors meeting in Geneva. Clinical and scientific research interests of Dr. Faizan Zaffar Kashoo include stroke rehabilitation, Bell's palsy, neurorehabilitation, telerehabilitation, and transcranial brain stimulation.
Corinne I. Lasmezas
Corinne Lasmézas, DVM, Ph.D. serves as a Professor at The Scripps Research Institute. Since Dr. Lasmézas' appointment at Scripps in 2005, she has focused on how misfolded proteins lead to neuronal dysfunction and loss in diseases including Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s and prion diseases. Additionally, Dr. Lasmézas is a reviewer for national and private funding agencies worldwide, including the US National Institutes of Health (NIH) and the UK Medical Research Council and an Advisor for the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the US Department of Agriculture (USDA). Earlier in her career, Dr. Lasmézas’ research provided the first experimental evidence that the prion disease “mad cow disease” had been transmitted to humans, causing variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease. At the peak of the mad cow crisis, Dr. Lasmézas became an advisor to the World Health Organization (WHO) as well as several governmental and public health committees. She is multiple TED speaker and is an internationally recognized expert in the field of neurodegenerative diseases. She has published more than 60 original scientific papers. She has been a Member of Scientific Advisory Board at Anavex Life Sciences Corp. since March 2015. Dr. Lasmézas holds a PhD in Neurosciences from the University Pierre & Marie Curie in Paris and obtained her Doctorate of Veterinary Medicine and Diploma of Aeronautic and Space Medicine from the University of Toulouse, France.
Frederick E. Lepore
Professor of Neurology and Ophthalmology at UMDNJ/RWJMS; Designer: Optic Nerve Test Card. Honors: Fellow American Academy of Neurology; member American Neurological Association, Who's Who in America.
Feng Liu
Feng Liu received his Ph.D. degree from the School of Life Science and Technology, University of Electronic Science and Technology of China and went on to work in the Department of Radiology and Tianjin Key Laboratory of Functional Imaging, Tianjin Medical University General Hospital, China. Now he is a professor and his current research interests include Brain and Cognition, Magnetic Resonance Imaging, Imaging Genetic and Multivariate Pattern Analysis.
Current research focuses on investigating the impact of the environmental factors (e.g., green space, PM2.5, etc) on human brain measured by magnetic resonance imaging.

Former Executive Board Member of the Association for the Scientific Study of Consciousness. Advisory Board Member and Columnist for Scientific American Mind.
Daniel Mirman
Dan is a Senior Lecturer in Psychology at the University of Edinburgh, UK. His research investigates the neurobiology of language processing and language disorders using behavioural and eye-tracking experiments, neuroimaging, and computational modeling methods. His primary focus areas are the organisation of semantic knowledge and the functional neuroanatomy of spoken language.
Anup Singh Pathania
Dr. Anup Pathania is an Assistant Professor at the University of Nebraska Medical Center (UNMC).
His research interests include non-coding RNAs in cancer, pharmacology, and immunology. He is currently investigating the underlying mechanisms in the stabilization of PD-L1 by exosomal non-coding RNAs in neuroblastoma cells within the tumor microenvironment.
Michelle Ploughman
Canada Research Chair in Rehabilitation, Neuroplasticity and Brain Recovery, Dr. Ploughman is a recognized expert in neuroplasticity and neurorehabilitation in stroke and multiple sclerosis. Her research focuses on the effects of aerobic exercise, intensive training paradigms and lifestyle habits on the brain challenged by injury, disease and aging. Dr. Ploughman continues to practice as a neurological physiotherapist in St John’s and her Recovery and Performance Laboratory is located in the Rehabilitation Research Unit (RRUNL), L.A. Miller Centre, St. John’s NL, Canada.
