The purpose of the TBSI Neuroscience Symposium is to showcase current research and to promote understanding of a variety of nervous system disorders. "TBSI was founded under the concept of bringing together top-level clinical care with current neuroscience research to provide the best possible treatment to patients with neurological disorders or injuries," said L. Gerard Toussaint III, MD, chair of this year's symposium. "The symposium is an ideal way to share some of the latest information on stroke research with the public as well as provide continuing education for clinical staff."

Dr. Macrae is the Deputy Head of Division and Professor of Neuroscience at the University of Glasgow, Scotland. She obtained undergraduate and graduate degrees in Pharmacology from the University of Glasgow. The main focus of her research is in the area of stroke biology and cerebral blood flow. She is the Co-Director of the 7T MRI Facility at the University of Glasgow and has recently published data regarding the relationship between hypertension, estrogen, and stroke severity.
