TBI & Neuromodulation Symposium: Advancing Recovery Through Neuroscience

Join us for a full-day symposium exploring the latest frontiers in traumatic brain injury (TBI) research and treatment. This event brings together world-leading experts to re-examine how TBI is defined and managed, uncover the neural disruptions caused by injury, and highlight emerging neuromodulation strategies to restore brain function.

Keynote speakers include:

  • Dr. Geoff Manley — Launching a New Era of TBI Classification: The CBI-M Framework

  • Dr. Adrian Owen — Functional Neuroimaging in Acute Brain Injury

  • Dr. Nicholas Schiff — Central Thalamic Deep Brain Stimulation for the Treatment of Moderate to Severe Traumatic Brain Injury

Through these sessions, the symposium will provide clinicians, researchers, and trainees with cutting-edge insights into diagnosis, brain network mapping, and therapeutic innovations shaping the future of TBI care.

Schedule

Morning Session: Rethinking the Foundations of TBI
Theme: New Frontiers in Diagnosis, Classification, and Clinical Management

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is highly heterogeneous. This session explores how we define, categorize, and manage TBI, laying the groundwork for individualized care and precision medicine.
Keynote Address:

  • Geoff Manley, MD, PhD — Launching a New Era of TBI Classification: The CBI-M Framework

Midday Session: Mapping the Injured Brain
Theme: Neurocircuitry and Functional Disruption After TBI

Explore the neural correlates of consciousness, cognition, and dysfunction following TBI. This session highlights cutting-edge imaging approaches and systems neuroscience insights.
Keynote Address:

  • Adrian Owen, PhD — Functional Neuroimaging in Acute Brain Injury

Afternoon Session: Repairing Circuits, Restoring Function
Theme: Neuromodulation as a Therapeutic Avenue in TBI

This session examines neuromodulatory strategies—from invasive to non-invasive—offering new possibilities for recovery in patients with moderate to severe TBI.
Keynote Address:

  • Nicholas Schiff, MD — Central Thalamic Deep Brain Stimulation for the Treatment of Moderate to Severe Traumatic Brain Injury
