Drug addiction is a brain disease that is characterized by compulsive drug seeking, despite of its harmful consequences. It causes changes in the normal activity of the nervous system damaging the nerve tissues, killing neurons and this leads to dysregulation of neural system. Thus uncontrolled drug use results in toxicity of brain. Some of the behavioral effects of drug addiction include Paranoia, Aggressiveness, Impulsiveness, and Loss of Self-Control. Prescription drugs that are often abused are sleep medicines and opioids.

Psychiatric disorders, including depression, schizophrenia, and bipolar disorder, affect millions of people around the world. In this session we will be discussing about: Neurology, Psychiatry, Psychotherapy, Psychopathology, Brain research, Neuropsychiatry and Neuropsychoimmunology

Brain disorders occur when brain is damaged by injury, disease, or health conditions. The three brain chemicals noradrenaline, dopamine and serotonin are involved in both bodily functions and brain.

There are 10 million people in the UK living with a neurological condition which has a significant impact on their lives. Mainly stroke, dementia, headache, head injury and epilepsy are the neurological conditions suffered in UK. It has been estimated that the lifetime risk of developing brain and other central nervous system cancer is 1 in 133 for men and 1 in 185 for women in the UK.

The goal of this session is to understand the Causes, Origin, Genesis and Source of various types of brain disorders. The causes of brain disorders: Brain trauma, Stroke, Viral infections, Tumor, Brain’s electrical pathway and Genesis of Brain.

Neurodegeneration is the process by which a part of your brain dies as a result of trauma or disease. Aging is the overwhelming risk factor for developing any of a number of phenotypically distinct neurodegenerative diseases, and the increasing prevalence, along with human life span, represents a major scientific challenge for the biomedical research community and a growing public health problem.

Headaches are generally classified into two main types: primary headaches and secondary headaches. A migraine, which is a disabling, recurring headache that frequently occurs only on one side of the head and often results in other symptoms, is one type of primary headache. Cluster headaches, which are less common than migraines or tension headaches, usually bring severe pain are treated with antinausea drugs and abortive or preventive medications. Headache remedies include pain relievers.

Neuroimmunology is the study of the interaction between our central nervous system (the brain and spinal cord) and our immune system. The goal of this session is to know more about: Neuroimmunology, Neurovirologyogy, Neuro-immune pathology, Neuro-immune Interaction, Neuropharmacology and Therapeutics, Neuropeptides and Neurohormones, Neurobiology of Brain Disorders and Neuro linguistics and Neuroheuristics

Epilepsy may occur as a result of a number of other conditions including tumors, strokes, head trauma, previous infections of the central nervous system, genetic abnormalities, and as a result of brain damage around the time of birth. Parkinson’s disease is a degenerative disorder of the central nervous system mainly affecting the motor system. The motor symptoms of Parkinson’s disease result from the death of dopamine-generating cells in the substantia nigra, a region of the midbrain.

Diagnostic tests and procedures are vital tools that help physicians confirm or rule out the presence of a neurological disorder or other medical condition. Tests and techniques such as Chorionic villus sampling, Pre-symptomatic testing, Biomarkers, Molecular diagnostics, Neuroimaging and Human Neuroimaging are commonly used to diagnose

A genetic brain disorder is caused by a variation or a mutation in a gene. Genetic brain disorders affect the development and function of the brain. The symptoms of brain disorders typically depend on the cause of the condition. Brain disorders may affect the main areas of your brain that control how we move, think, and behave. Some tumors can constrict the blood vessels in brain.

The common symptoms brain disorders may include: Seizures, loss of sensation, Muscle weakness, Paralysis and Impaired Cognitive Function.

There pathophysiology of brain disorders was affected by many factors such as Molecular and cellular mechanism, Altered cerebral hemodynamic, Cerebrovascular auto regulation, Cerebral oxygenation,  Excitotoxic cell damage, Inflammation, Cerebral metabolic dysfunction and Changes in coordination or balance.

The structural connectivity describes anatomical connections linking a set of neural elements whereas functional connectivity is generally derived from time series observations, and describes patterns of statistical dependence among neural elements. Brain connectivity is thus crucial to elucidating how neurons and neural networks process information.

Cerebellum and brain stem are two of the three main parts of human brain the third one being cerebrum. Each of these three parts of the brain performs different functions.

The goal of this session is to know nursing activities that have the potential to maximize outcomes for severe brain disorders. In this session we will be discussing about: Advance Practice Nursing, Geriatric Nursing, Movement Disorders, Multiple Sclerosis, Neuro-Oncology, Neurotrauma, Pediatrics Nursing, Spine and Stroke

Computational systems are useful in neuroscience in many ways. For instance, they may be used to construct maps of brain structure and activation or to describe brain processes mathematically.

The nervous system is the network of nerve cells and fibers which transmits nerve impulses between parts of the body.

The goal of this session is to understand Brain Mapping, Neuro-Informatics, Current trends in Neuroinformatics, Neural Networks and Genetic Algorithms, Neuro Sensing and Neural Prosthesis and Controlling Neurons, Circuits and Behavior

Brain Engineering is about using scientific methods to understand and model the nervous system and to use this knowledge to engineer systems that interact with augment or mimic nervous system functionality.

Neuromorphic engineering, Brain Stimulation, NeuroModulation, Advanced Modelling and Mechanisms, Systems Neuroscience, Experimental Design for Neuroimaging and Data Acquisition in Neuroimaging

For practically every known human disease, researchers attempt to induce similar aspects of the disease in animals to create an animal model. Animals are used as models of traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, congenital blindness, Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s and etc. Researchers frequently use rabbits in toxicity and safety testing of medical devices, vaccines, and drugs.

In 2009, over 222,000 rabbits were used in research, more than any other species covered under the Animal Welfare Act, followed next by guinea pigs and hamsters, who are both used a great deal in toxicity testing and as models for infectious, cardiovascular, and neurological diseases, and drug abuse research. Both mice and rats are heavily used in vaccine and drug research and testing, and birds are used in research on organ development and deformity, visual impairment, muscular dystrophy, and nutrition, among other things.

The goal of this session is to understand the Novel Treatment strategies like Therapeutic brain stimulation (electric and magnetic), Tau-Based Treatment Strategies in Neurodegenerative Diseases, Anti-amyloid therapy, Comprehensive treatment, Therapeutic dilemmas in multiple sclerosis and Future research directions in brain disorders.
