The symposium brings together experts from clinical practice and research to explore three key interdisciplinary topics: white matter (dys)connections, autism and apathy. The program includes keynote lectures, interdisciplinary case discussions, and a dedicated «Young Minds» session, offering a platform for both internationally renowned speakers and emerging researchers. The meeting addresses an interdisciplinary audience of neurologists, neuropsychologists, cognitive neuroscientists, psychiatrists, physiotherapists, occupational therapists, speech and language therapists, and nursing professionals involved in the research, treatment, and care of patients. Participants can expect scientifically rigorous contributions, clinical relevance, and space for exchange and discussion.
