The Saul R. Korey Lectureship
The Korey Lectureship was established by Dr. Robert D. Terry in honor of Dr. Saul R. Korey, the founder and first Chair of the Department of Neurology at Albert Einstein College of Medicine. Dr. Korey's vision of an interdisciplinary approach to the study of neurological diseases by basic and clinical scientists has inspired generations of colleagues and trainees. Dr. Terry, a close collaborator and colleague of Dr. Korey, was the first recipient of the prestigious Potamkin Prize for Pick's and Alzheimer's Disease in 1988, in recognition of his seminal observations of the pathological changes in Alzheimer disease. Dr. Terry generously contributed a portion of the prize funds to endow the Korey Lectureship, to be administered by the American Association of Neuropathologists, with the lecturer to be chosen annually by the President.
Dr. Terry has summarized the qualities of the Korey Lecturer, as someone who has "been an active member of the Association...a working Neuropathologist...responsible for diagnostic work as well as teaching and research. The lecture should be aimed at the members of the Association, and the lecturer might well serve as a role model for younger members."
The Korey Lecturer, then, is someone who has "done it all" and "done it well".

The DeArmond Lectureship
The DeArmond Lectureship was established in recognition of Stephen J. DeArmond's excellent leadership and organization of the scientific program for the 2006 International Congress of Neuropathology. This successful meeting garnered significant support intended for the future advancement of the mission of the American Association of Neuropathologists. To continue these intended goals and recognize Dr. DeArmond's contributions, the American Association of Neuropathologists has honored him by establishing the DeArmond Lectureship.
Dr. DeArmond is a leading authority on prion disease, where his work has been fundamental in demonstrating mechanisms of transmission and routes to therapeutics. The DeArmond Lecture focuses on honoring those making major advances in the field of neurodegeneration and aging with a particular emphasis on translating these findings to patient care.

The Teva Neuroscience/Parisi Lectureship
The Teva Neuroscience/Parisi Lectureship was established with a generous endowment from Teva Pharmaceuticals in 2007. Teva Neuroscience, a subsidiary of Teva Pharmaceuticals, is devoted to the study and development of products and services that address the health management needs of people in the field of neurology. One of the focal points of their efforts is multiple sclerosis.
The lecture was named the Teva Neuroscience/Parisi Lectureship in honor of one of the American Association of Neuropathologists' exceptional members, Dr. Joseph E. Parisi. He has published seminal neuropathological studies on a wide range of diseases affecting the nervous system, with particular focus on neurodegenerative diseases and multiple sclerosis. He has held virtually every office of the Society, including President, and has served on several AANP committees. In 2006, his dedication and generosity were recognized with the Award for Meritorious Contributions to Neuropathology. He is considered by many the heart and soul of the association and a man worth emulating.
