2022年第63届日本神经学会年会

It is our great pleasure to invite all of you Neurologists and Neuroscientists to join the 63rd Annual Meeting of the Japanese Society of Neurology which will be held at the Tokyo International Forum from May 18th (Wednesday) to 21st (Saturday), 2022. It will be the first time in nine years since Professor Hidehiro Mizusawa held the 54th Annual meeting of the Japanese Society of Neurology in Tokyo. In addition, this is the third host by Neurology of Juntendo University since the 23rd (Professor Hirotaro Narabayashi) and the 45th (Professor Yoshikuni Mizuno). It is a great honor, and all the members of our department are preparing in good faith. Due to the worldwide spread of the COVID-19 since 2019, two of both the 61st and 62nd annual meetings have been organized by a hybrid system, and most of the members have difficulties in participating locally. Currently, vaccination is in progress, so I sincerely hope that you will meet with everyone at the 63rd annual meeting.

The theme of this annual meeting is "Prospects of Neurology in a centenarian society-Toward Coexistence with AI Technologies". The average life expectancy of Japanese people in 2016 announced in 2020 is 81.1 years for men (2nd in the world) and 87.1 years for women (1st in the world), and the population over 100 years old is more than 80,000. In addition, WHO estimates that half of the children born in 2007 (15 years old) will have a lifespan of 107 years. Thus, the role of neurology is undoubtedly increasing, and it can be said that it will increase its indispensable presence. xuan. We would like to plan a program that will revitalize young members to seniors. We are encouraged to promote globalization and clarify our position as a leader especially in Asia. Shortly, artificial intelligence may decide on diagnosis and treatment strategies on behalf of doctors. However, we are the ones who use IT and AI to guide us in the right direction. It goes without saying that how to use it well is important.

The poster of the annual meeting also features the cityscape of Tokyo, a gene, a baby, and a robot pushing an old person in a wheelchair. The center is designed to imagine the bright future of neurology with the image of a shining brain. We hope that you will have the opportunity to think about the cutting edge of neurology. We look forward to your participation.
