The Trond Mohn Research Foundation is joining forces with the University of Bergen and Haukeland University Hospital to fund a new centre for research into serious and incurable brain diseases. A total of 50 million kroner over five years will be allocated to research into REM sleep behaviour disorder (RBD). By conducting further research into this, it is hoped that we will be able to identify who is at risk of developing a serious brain disease approximately 15 years before the disease manifests. At the opening ceremony, an engaging discussion on this topic was led by Marion Solheim from the Faculty of Medicine, UiB.<\/p>\n

The programme also included an introduction to the centre by its director, Charalampos Tzoulis, and presentations from the various partners. Member of Parliament\u00a0 and spokesperson for the Norwegian Health and Care committee Truls Vasvik (Labour Party) was also present.<\/p>\n

Also taking part in the panel discussion were Ove Vestheim, Chair of the Parkinson\u2019s Association in Bergen and the surrounding area; photographer and patient Anders Leines, who created the exhibitions \u2018This is Parkinson\u2019s\u2019 and \u2018This is Parkinson\u2019s \u2013 ten years later\u2019; and Johannes Gaare, coordinator of the NOR-RBD initiative.
\nFollowing the opening ceremony, the public were invited to visit interactive stations at the University Museum. Attendees were also given the opportunity\u00a0 to view Anders Leines\u2019 thought-provoking exhibition.<\/p>\n
