I find particularly interesting professors' G.Corfas progress, if any, in curing damaged ribbon synapses. A good question would be if it can also be applied in chronic cases.

I would also be interesting if the have found a way to discern a somatic tinnitus from acoustic trauma tinnitus (the speech of Tanit Sanchez perhaps?). Doctors should be aware of such a way, if any exists, to save lives by curing people who are mistakenly taken as hopeless T cases.

I hope some of the attenders read us. Is there a way such questions are transferred to them?

 

AM-101 and vagus nerve stimulation in the same talk session made me raise my eyebrows for a bit. Are they looking at combining the therapies?

 

I wonder, will the Gaby Olthuis case be mentioned in the conference? Perhaps provide a means of urgency for doctors worldwide to find a cure for this terrible affliction. They have a responsibility to put more effort to it, raise the bar, sound the alarm!
They MUST give it the proper attention!

Overall it looks like there are some good papers and research being discussed at this conference, it's certainly an improvement from the earlier TRI conferences.

 

Any news yet? Was it another typical ending in a usual "no progress yet" tone?

 

It's usually the case with conference papers. Always ends in needs more research to be done blah blah funding blah blah stuff.

 

I was interested and found the abstracts. Is one of these the cure we need?
