Invited in the framework of the Symposium "Exploring the interrelated aspects of neuropsychological, psychoaffective and medical aspects in the clinical care of older adults: bridging the gap between the clinical and the fundamental research by a multi-determined approach", Chaired by Pr. Isabelle Simoes Loureiro (Department of Cognitive Psychology and Neuropsychology, University of Mons)
In this symposium, we will explore several interrelated neuropsychological, psychological and medical aspects to better understand cognitive and behavioral symptoms of psychogeriatric patients. To start with, Delphine De Ro, a Neuropsychologist in a psychogeriatric diagnostic unit of the Van Gogh Hospital, will present the clinical reality of hospitalized older adults. She will explain the difficulties of differential diagnosis as well as the risk of proposing inappropriate treatments, and how the neuropsychological approach is constantly trying to contribute, in accordance with the other clinical disciplines, to refine itself to contribute to a better diagnosis. Then, François-Xavier Sibille, Medical doctor, and Chief assistant at the Clinique Mont-Godinne, as well as researcher at the Louvain Drug Research Institute, will present his work on the relationship between multi-drug therapy and consequential cognitive, emotional, and behavioural disorders. He will propose a particular focus on the medications prescribed in the context of central nervous system management. We will then turn to more fundamental research, with Auriane Gros, senior lecturer at the CoBteK Laboratory of the University of Côte d'Azur, who will present original work on gesture analysis as a tool for assessing social apathy. Finally, Sandra Invernizzi (co-author Pr. Laurent Lefebvre and Pr. Isabelle Simoes Loureiro from the Department of Cognitive Psychology and Neuropsychology at the University of Mons) will present fundamental research on the influence of depression in aging on the cognitive processes involved in the management of multiple meaning contexts. Highly determined by executive-semantic, these processes are indeed expected to be impaired because of the dysexecutive nature of late-life depression.
