Title: The Neuroinfectious Pandemics and Epidemics from Antiquity to the Present
Summary: What is the closest we have come to a zombie apocalypse? If this present COVID-19 pandemic has done anything, it is reinvigorated our interest, fascination, and fear of apocalyptic scenarios spurred by infectious diseases. More specifically, popular culture has indicated that our fascination is biased towards infectious diseases that target the nervous system. In this presentation, we will discuss neuroinfectious diseases of history that have reached pandemic or epidemic status, and what that means for the future of pandemics.
