German BfS will organize workshop on neurodegenerative diseases and magnetic field exposure
The German Federal Office for Radiation Protection (BfS) will organize a workshop on neurodegenerative diseases and magnetic field exposure in December 2017 in unich.
The workshop will cover several topics, e.g epidemiological evidence of a possible relationship between low frequency magnetic fields and neurodegenerative diseases, with focus on Alzheimer’s dementia and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, medical aspects like diagnoses and therapy,and ongoing basic research focusing on the investigation of action mechanisms at the level of animal and cell models. The aim is to summarize the recent state of scientific knowledge and to identify research gaps.
Based on the results, further research will be initiated.
