3rd Annual Summit on
Neuro Science and Neurological Disorders

Cellular and molecular neuroscience research covers a wide range of approaches to understanding the function and dysfunction of specific molecules and cell types in the brain and spinal cord. Ongoing research by the neuroscience's faculty has demonstrated molecular/ elucidating cellular mechanisms. Main topics are ion channels and electrophysiology. In order to learn critical details about the nervous system, the evolution of the human brain, and the role of genes and molecular signals, molecular and cellular neuroscientists examine the impact of these factors on cellular morphology, molecular signals, and gene expression.

Recent advances in systems neuroscience have been driven by the development of new experimental techniques and computational tools that allow researchers to study the brain at unprecedented levels of resolution and complexity. 

Neurologists and neuroscientists were finally able to locate the regions involved in particular functions as well as to elucidate the underlying mechanisms thanks to a number of technological and neuroscience advancements. This discovery was primarily made possible by advancements in neuroscience and anaesthetic techniques and the discovery of antibiotics on the medical side, and by the technical development of techniques that allowed single neurons to be recorded in anaesthetized animals first and then in animals that were behaving later. The heyday of system neuroscience was just beginning.

Millions of people around the world are severely burdened and disabled by neurological illnesses. Psychologists can assess cognitive impairments, help patients with cognitive impairments get better, and treat comorbid psychological illnesses in patients with neurological disorders. Neuropsychological assessment, which entails the systematic examination of the level and type of cognitive functioning impairment caused by neurological illness or injury, may be the most frequent site of interaction between psychologists and people with neurological disorders. The discovery of gene therapy is a promising new approach for treating the neurological disorders.

At the nexus of information neuroinformatics is the fast growing feild in neuroscience. The efficiency of data sharing through databases and by using theoretical and computational models to solve complicated problems in the field has been demonstrated by other sciences, such as genomics. Researchers can share their data through neuroinformatics facilities and contribute to other fields by using the tools for data analysis and integration that are readily available. With computational modelling, researchers may also more quickly quantitatively verify their working hypotheses. Furthermore,neuroinformatics encourages more collaborative research, one goal of which is to improve opportunities for studying the brain at various levels of brain structure.

In order to choose clinically significant endpoints for interventional clinical trials, the Division of Neurogenetics studies the natural history of genetic illnesses affecting the neurological system, such as lysosomal storage disorders.

Most common neurodegenerative disorders are Alzheimer's disease (AD) and Parkinson's disease (PD), which afflict millions of people and cost the US economy billions of dollars annually. The scientific community has made great strides in creating therapies that address the symptoms of these two disorders, but has not yet succeeded in curing, inhibiting, or even significantly slowing neurodegeneration. Incase of Parkinson’s disorder, Movement and motor control depend heavily on dopamine, a fundamental neurotransmitter that carries data between neurons. It is difficult for the brain to coordinate muscle actions when dopamine is absent. Patients with Alzheimer's disease may be more likely to experience cognitive impairment, with functional impairments appearing as the disease progresses.

• Track 8-1  Dopaminergic Pathways and Neurotransmission

The Department of Pharmacology has a long and illustrious history in the study of Neuroscience and Neuropharmacology, with ongoing research examining the biology of receptors, transporters, and ions channels, cellular signaling, synaptic plasticity, sensory mechanisms in pain and hearing, the neurobiology of addiction, and mechanisms of nerve injury, protection, and repair. Because to the worldwide trend in population ageing and the consequent rise in patients with neuropsychiatric diseases, the field of neuropharmacology research has been gradually expanding. To improve clinical outcomes and strengthen the discipline of neuropharmacology, a study area that bridges basic and clinical sciences, it is hoped that the discovery of novel pharmaceutically relevant compounds or new clinical applications will continue in the future.

A branch of imaging research known as neuroimaging employs a variety of cutting-edge technologies to obtain noninvasive images of the brain or other regions of the CNS. In particular, neuroimaging can offer a variety of quantitative analyses of the anatomy, blood flow, blood volume, electrical activity, metabolism, and many other physiological functions within the CNS in addition to directly or indirectly derived visual representations. Brain scanning is a common description of neuroimaging. The aim is to link normal or abnormal resting-state sensory-motor, cognitive, and conscious activities to normal or abnormal quantifiable brain structure, biochemistry, pathways, functional brain networks, and connectivity using future noninvasive technologies.

Neurosurgery was regarded as a specialization around the turn of the 20th century. Using neurological testing and clinical history, the clinical neurologist would form conclusions about lesions in the brain. It made it possible to diagnose brain tumors, spinal conditions, and vascular lesions. Vascular diseases and brain malignancies might be detected indirectly throughout the second and third decades of the 20th century using procedures like angiography, ventriculography, and pneumoencephalography. Yet, there were high rates of morbidity and mortality from neurological diseases due to the poor operating methods and widespread shortage of qualified experts.

It was once thought by scientists that the brain could not evolve. We now know that neuroplasticity is possible. Throughout your life, you have several opportunities to remodel your brain. Your brain can be impacted by events both inside and outside of you. When you consider the possibilities and modifications that neuroplasticity may make to your body and your life in general, it is truly amazing.

• Track 12-1  Synaptic Plasticity

Scientists have wondered how to repair a damaged brain for ages. The concept of placing microchips into a person's mind is now becoming a reality. Neural implants, which sit at the nexus of neurology, engineering, and computers, offer the potential to help people who have lost functionality due to degenerative diseases, accidents, vision or hearing loss, and more. In other words, neural implants make it possible for researchers to compromise the neurological system. Neural implant interventions have the potential to develop into incredibly potent medical instruments, whether you call them electroceuticals, bioelectronics, neuromodulation, or something else entirely.

Neurologists have during the past century given varying amounts of attention to the direct, indirect, and treatment-related consequences of cancer on the neurological system. Throughout the past 30 years, both the disorders covered by the discipline of neuro-oncology and our understanding of them have grown significantly. Technological advancements in neuroimaging, particularly computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging, have contributed to the progress. The central nervous system (CNS) anatomy and pathology, as well as, to some extent, areas of the peripheral nervous system that may be impacted by cancer or its treatment, may now be seen in unprecedented detail thanks to these developments. There have been noticeable improvements in the accuracy of diagnosis, safety of neurosurgery, simplicity of tumor removal, and safer and more accurate radiotherapy.

New studies on the use of psychedelic chemicals for treating conditions like addiction, depression, anxiety, and posttraumatic stress disorder are being conducted in clinical research settings all over the world. It's possible that psychedelics could be used to treat a variety of mental and drug issues. In order to conclusively demonstrate the efficacy and safety of psychedelic therapy's different forms and uses, additional substantial research are required. As of Now, the body of high-quality evidence on psychedelic therapy is still comparatively modest.

A revolution in biology has created unprecedented opportunities to understand the pathogenesis of neuroinfectious diseases. Important discoveries by medical professionals and scientists are made in an atmosphere that seeks to unravel fundamental biological processes. Central nervous system (CNS) infections can have a wide range of origins, symptoms, and prognoses. They have the potential to cause considerable morbidity and mortality and can manifest suddenly. The highly isolated nature of the CNS and its defence mechanisms make treating CNS infections particularly difficult.
