6^th International Conference on
Neuroscience and Neurological Disorders

Neurological disorder is an umbrella term represents diseases and disorders that affect the brain and nervous system. The cause of neurological disorders is diverse. The vital components of CNS like Brain and Spinal cord are encapsulated in copious membranes which are assailable to force and pressure. The peripheral nerves situated deep under the skin also susceptible to damages. The damages result in disorder which in turn affects one neuron or entire nervous system. The symptom of neurological disorders varies based on upon on type of disorder and Specific area affected. Based on the report by WHO, Millions of people around the world are affected by various kind of neurological disorders. Predominantly 10% of the world’s death is caused by neurological disorders.

Central nervous system is the intrinsic reality of the body. Brain and the spinal cord are the core part of CNS.  Serving as the largest part of the nervous system, It regulates the thought process, the functioning of organs and movement associated with the body. The brain is encompassed in the cranial cavity and consists of neurons and glial cells. CNS is responsible for all involuntary actions

Proper neuroscience equipment should emphasize safety and protection for the research subjects and the individuals conducting the research. There are many instruments which protect the lifes of many folks.

Neurophysiology is the branch of neuroscience and physiology that exploits the functioning of the nervous system. These studies are carried out using electrophysiological or molecular biological tools.  Insights of neurophysiology render the elaborate description of the revolutionized anatomy of nervous system, the motor response control system, thought processing and memory management system. Discussions can also be made in neuromuscular physiology, neural mechanisms of higher nervous activity and contemporary problems of Neuroscience can also be conferred.

The compounds (neurochemicals) that are produced by and that control the nervous system includes the attention in the arena of neurochemistry. Neurochemistry deals with the progression of neurotransmission with the help of neurochemicals like oxytocin, serotonin, dopamine and other neurotransmitters and neurotransmitter-regulating substances.

Neurogenetics attributes to the study of the genetic role in the development and functioning of the nervous system. Many of the fundamental processes underlying neurological disease remain elusive and/or poorly understood. Genetics and proteomics (the study of proteins produced by genes) can increase our understanding of predisposition to diseases so we can develop the next wave of therapies to treat neurological disease. Mapping the gene of Huntington disease, unveiling the cause for hereditary neuropathy with liability to pressure palsy(HNPP) using Neurogenetics is marked as landmark discoveries in the field of neurobiology.

Neuropathology deals with the study of the pathology of nervous tissue in the form of biopsy or autopsy. Pathological study of brain and spinal cord aids in the diagnosis of the disease. In certain countries, still, neuropathology is deemed as a subcategory of anatomical pathology. Rudimental understanding of nervous system pathology is indispensable to provide efficient, safe evidence-based care to patients with neurological diseases.

The Study of interaction between the nervous system and the immune system is interpreted as Neuroimmunology. The cross talk between these two complex systems is a continuing mystery to be deciphered by neuroscientists. Later researches in this area have focused on the role of immune cells and immune mediators in the initiation and progression of specific neurological diseases, such as multiple sclerosis and Alzheimer's disease. Yet how do autoimmune T cells get into the brain and how do they contribute to neurological diseases and does the microglial cell activation in the brain Neurodestructive or Neuroprotective. Can serum antibodies affect brain function and what are the functional contributions of genetic determinants to multiple sclerosis susceptibility? These and other questions need a clear discussion that has important implications for the treatment of neurological disorders with an inflammatory component. 

Neuropsychiatry is a collaborative interface between psychiatry and neurology that account with mental disorders.T he field of neuropsychiatry is engaged with understanding the link between mind, body and its behavior. Treated as sub-specialty of psychiatry, the common cases originate from identifiable malfunctions. The amalgamation of Neuropsychiatrist with neurologist and neurosurgeons provide extensive care and efficient set up for patients. Patients suffering from psychiatry conditions report. Biological psychiatry, cognitive neurosciences, behavioral neurology, and organic psychiatry are closely related fields with different motif and competence.

Neuroradiology and Neuroimaging pave the path to visualize the brain and spinal cord which is critical for diagnosing and treating the patient with the neurological illness. Neuroradiology is maneuvered to image the structure, functions of the central nervous and peripheral nervous system using neuroimaging techniques. Neuroimaging can be exploited for plain film diagnosis of the skull, sinuses, mastoids, spine, and head, and neck structures, and all other imaging and special procedures related to the central nervous system and head and neck including angiography, myelography, interventional techniques, and magnetic resonance imaging. Our session mainly focusing on Basics of Neuroradiology, Pediatric Neuroradiology, Functional Neuroradiology, Emergency Neuroradiology, Spine Interventions, Neuroradiology, and Patient safety and on Preventive Neuroradiology.

Neurosurgery is the youngest surgical discipline that focuses on diagnosis, treatment, and rehabilitation of neuro-related diseases and disorders. The history of neurosurgery dates back to the early 1990s. High quality and life-sustaining treatments can be endowed for patients with advanced neurosurgical devices. Some of the common neurosurgeries include craniotomy, microsurgery, oncological neurosurgery, neuro-endoscopy (endoscopic endonasal surgery), and stereotactic neurosurgery. Flow diversion devices, neuroendovascular stents, liquid embolic, clot retrieval, and balloon catheters are the innovative neurosurgical devices playing significant growth in the market. Due to its potential outcomes, global investors contribute more investments in R&D.

Neuro-oncology paraphrases the study of tumors in the brain and spinal cord. The global incidence of brain tumor is higher than 45/100,000 patients a year. According to National brain tumor society, there are about 120 types of brain tumor. The widely known type of brain tumor is glioma that originates from glial tissues. Meningioma is the most common type of spinal cord tumor which originates from CNS. The treatment given for neurological tumors is based upon the type of tumor, position in the spine and the age of the patient.

Neuropharmacology divulges on understanding the effects of chemical agents with neurobiological processes of the nervous system. The study involves various aspects of nervous system interrogating single neuron to the whole region of the brain and spinal cord. Experiments are carried out on Mammalian, non-mammalian and invertebrates organism to obtain novel insights on neurobiological mechanisms. In order to design a drug for the neurological disorder, one must understand how neurons communicate with each other. The neuropharmacology market can be categorized on the basis of technology, application, and region.

Reconditioning and retraining of the brain waves employing real-time display electroencephalography (EEG) are termed as Neurofeedback. Neurofeedback also called as Neurotherapy is a therapeutic tool that improves a variety of health conditions. During the treatment, the EEG is recorded from a subject scalp which is further extracted into various components and fed to subjects in form of video and audio, where the subject should alter these parameters to attain more efficient mode of brain functioning. Recent studies reflecting evidenced-based efficacy proved this technique a more viable option for clinical intervention. Embedded with technology, EEG-biofeedback is a non-invasive, drug-free, brain training system that aids the central nervous system (CNS) make the best use of your brain’s natural resources.

Neuroscience nursing deals with aiding the patient experiencing neurological problems. This may involve injuries due to the head and spinal trauma from mishaps, or ailments, as an example, shaking palsy illness, meningitis, redness, epilepsy, and diverse pathology.

Pediatric Neurology deals with the management and diagnosis of neurological conditions in neonates, children, infants and adolescents. The discipline of child neurology encompasses diseases and disorders of the brain, peripheral nervous system, spinal cord, autonomic nervous system and blood vessels that affect individuals in these age groups.

Case studies in neuroscience and neurology are crucial provenance of new ideas and hypothesis. The causes, symptoms and treatment and possible outcome are analyzed using the reports. This topic focuses on case study methodologies and advantages. Detailed Case studies most frequently describe people with rare, unique, and abnormal conditions. Framing the neurological condition from case report enhances new clinical inventions and therapeutics.
