24^th International Conference on Neuroscience and Neurochemistry July 23-24, 2018 Birmingham, UK

Neurochemistry deals with the amazing chemistry that occurs in the brain, nervous system and the nerve cell with which it communicates. The phenomenon of chemistry that generates electrical signals which propagate along nerve cells and the chemistry at the synapse by neurotransmitters are the prime locations.

Robust research work on brain and its impact on behavior and cognitive functions will portray the neurochemical behavior and illness due to chemical imbalance which will explore the possibilities of advances in the field of neurosciences and disorders.

Clinical Neurochemistry illustrates the chemistry involved in the brain and nervous system function, and also how it influences the internal chemical environment. It is essential for a wide research in clinical neurochemistry as it plays part in understanding and treating neurological and psychiatric disorders.

The peculiar function of the Blood Brain Barrier is selective permeability that hinders transport of molecules through it. This distinct function also inhibits the passage of the drugs across it. To overcome the blood-brain barrier, methods and developments of nanotechnology are assuring to deliver drugs across it by carry out multiple tasks in a predefined sequence.

Significant amount of research in nanotechnology in neurochemistry is required to explore the methods to deliver across the blood brain barrier.

Self-renewing, multi potent cells of nervous system that generate the neurons and glia are neural stem cells. The prime function of neural stem cells is continuous production of neurons by engaging in migration and replacing dying neurons.  Stem cell technologies have developed to understand the cellular and molecular properties of neural stem and progenitor cells to develop cell therapies to treat CNS injuries and diseases.

Intensive research and development is needed to cure the neurological diseases and neurological disorders of the nervous system. There are more than 600 disease of nervous system which occurs at several locations and effect severely. To understand the multiple factors and fluctuation exhibited by these diseases advanced therapeutic methods and analytical study also required for novel diagnostic approaches.

Neurogenesis produces the neurons by neural stem cells. In all animals during embryogenesis, neurons of the organism are produced by neurogenesis. On the other side communication between two neurons is processed by neurotransmission.  Both the process plays a major role in producing neurons and communication between them. 

The action of drug on the nervous system and the neural mechanisms through which they influence behavior is studied in neuropharmacology. Studying these interactions will help the researchers in developing drugs to treat neurological disorders, psychological disorders, pain, addiction and other diseases.

Neuroimmunology deals with the immune system in nervous system. The study of neuroimmunology improves the development of neuropharmacological treatments for several disorders of nervous, psychological and immunological disorders. Neuropathology is the study of disease of nervous system tissue. Analyzing the tissue will help in diagnosis of disease.

Abnormality in the brain, spinal cord or other nerves triggers the symptoms producing the disorders of the nervous system.  Even though the brain and spinal cord are surrounded by tough membranes they are very susceptible if compromised. Neurological disorders occur at several locations and are categorized on the primary location affected. There are more than 600 diseases of nervous system, among which Parkinson’s disease, epilepsy and brain tumors are mostly affected. The prime challenge is to understand the pathogenesis of the disease and develop effective forms to cure. Research in this field is to be advanced to reduce the death rate.

Psychiatric disorders like depression, anxiety, schizophrenia, and bipolar disorder, affect millions of people around the world. These disorders comprises of wide range of problems with different symptoms varying from individual to individual

For treating this type of disorders we have many types of therapies which collectively shall come under Behavioral Therapy. Behavioral therapy can benefit individuals with a wide range of disorders.

All the neurological and psychiatric disorders are the result of the damage caused either to brain or spinal cord which together comprises of CNS. This session deals with the various neurobiological and genetic aspects of CNS disorders, their causes, and diagnosis and treatment options for these disorders.

Psychopharmacology is the study of how the drugs affect our behavior. In this session, we discuss about the neurological process involved in Addiction, Experimental Models and Neurobiological Mechanisms, Psychoactive Drugs and Interactions, Drug Abuse and Pharmacological Treatment, Drug Applications to other Addictions and Substance Misuse and many more interesting topics.

Neuroinflammation has been closely linked with various neurodegenerative pathways. Inflammation plays major role as a driving force that can modulate the development of various neuropathologies. This session addresses the various issues relating the inflammation with the neurodegenrative disorders. 

Neuroplasticity is known as brain plasticity. An interesting consequence of this neuroplasticity is that the activity of brain associated with a specific function can be transferred to another location. It makes your brain extremely resilient. Neuroplasticity also enables to recover from brain injury, stroke, and improve symptoms of autism, ADHD, learning disabilities and other brain deficits, pull out of depression and addictions, and reverse obsessive-compulsive patterns.

Neuro-ophthalmology is a subspecialty that merges the fields of neurology and ophthalmology that focuses on nervous system diseases that affect vision. This session deals about diagnosing and managing a wide spectrum of neuro-ophthalmic disorders. Some of the common problems discussed are optic nerve problems, Optic Neuritis, Nutritional Optic Neuropathy, visual disturbances, abnormal eye movements, double vision, thyroid eye disease, unequal pupil size, myasthenia gravis, and eyelid abnormalities.

Neuroethics is concerned with ethical, legal and social implications of neuroscience. As the neuroscience research is getting evolved day by day at an exponential rate, an increased attention need to be paid to public understanding of science. Thus arises the importance of neuroethics in neuroscience. This session addresses Bioethics of Neuroscience, Insights and tools of Neuroscientific Research, ethics of Neuroimaging techniques and Neuropharmacology & Neurotechnology.
