Neuroscience and Neurochemistry

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

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

According to World Health Organization (WHO), approximately 50 million people worldwide have epilepsy, making it one of the most common neurological diseases globally and nearly 80% of the people with epilepsy live in low- and middle-income countries. Rising research and development activities in the field of neurology have been the key driver of neurological diseases treatment market and are expected to fuel its growth throughout the forecast period 2017 – 2025.

Neurology is the study of abnormality in the brain, spinal cord or other nerves triggering 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 the nervous system. 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.

Transparency market research says according to the study, the Europe neurological disorder drugs market was valued is expected to reach a valuation of US$32.0 bn by the end of 2024 as compared to US$18.3 bn in 2015. During the forecast years of 2016 and 2024, the overall market is expected to surge at a CAGR of CAGR of 6.4%.

Neurotransmitters are the sole bearers in regulating the cell signaling mechanisms for the effective metabolic activities of the nervous system including both motion and sensing whose assets are the amino acid residues which desire for the effective Bio Synthetic Steps for their regulation. These include Acetylcholine, Norepinephrine, Dopamine, Serotonin, endogenous morphine which renders specialized functions in the Hypothalamus. Signal transduction is the phenomena of obtaining cell response by a chemical or physical signal transmission through a cell as series of molecular events.

Neurosurgery is the study of diagnosis and treatment (operative / non-operative i.e., critical care, prevention, diagnosis, evaluation, treatment, and rehabilitation) of patients with disorders of the central, peripheral and autonomic nervous system. Common conditions treated by neurosurgeons include brain tumors, head injuries, intracranial aneurysms, and a broad spectrum of disorders affecting the spine as well. 

Neurobiology is the branch of science that focuses on biology and neuroscience. It is the study of the organization of these cells into functional circuits i.e. the structural and functional aspects that mediate behavior. Neurophysiology is the subdiscipline of both neuroscience and physiology that focuses on the physiology and functioning of the nervous system, using electrophysiological/molecular biological tools.

The genetic & immune system disorders are one of the causes for the Neuromuscular Disorders which affect the nerves that control the voluntary muscles. The interesting consequence of this neuroplasticity is that the activity of the 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.

Neuroimmunology deals with the immune system in the 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 the diagnosis of disease.

Psychiatric disorders like depression, anxiety, schizophrenia, and bipolar disorder, affect millions of people around the world. These disorders comprise of a 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.

The action of a 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. Neurogenetics deals with the advances in molecular biology, genetics and the link between genes, behavior, the brain, and neurological disorders. It refers to genetic disorders that affect the brain and nerves

Neuroimaging is a technique that produces pictures of the brain without requiring surgery, an incision of the skin, or any direct contact with the inside of the body. The neuroimaging techniques allow noninvasive visualization of the structure and functionality of the brain. Neuroimaging has become an influential tool for both research and medical diagnosis.  While still young, the neuroimaging field has speedily progressed over the years due to innovations in technology and computational approaches. The main two in-vivo technologies are structural imaging and functional imaging.

Neurorehabilitation is a specialty of neuroscience that tries to recover patients from nervous system injuries and tries to minimize the loss by finding functional alternative solutions in coping with it. The neurorehabilitation services will mostly benefit patients who have just recovered from the acute medical condition that necessitates extensive rehabilitation such as stroke

This session is an effort to address all areas related to Neuro Rehabilitation Principles and Practice, Clinical and Technical Perspectives on Neurorehabilitation, Psychological rehabilitation and ethical aspects during neurorehabilitation

Neurotherapeutics deals with the treatment methods and therapies of the nervous system and brain disorders. 

Neuropsychiatry is a combination of both Neurology and Psychiatry which focuses on disorders related to mental health, in which many cases were revealed to be originated from a recognizable malfunction in the brain. The aim of Neuropsychiatry is to comprehend the relation between the body, mind and its behavioral activities. The trained Neuropsychiatrist in the field of both neurological and psychiatric features of disease seats them in an exceptional position to deliver this care. Neuropsychiatrist works along with additional Neuroscience clinicians, namely a neurosurgeon and neurologist, to deliver complete care to the patients.

Besides all the above sessions, we do accept the research and review articles related to the neurological and brain sciences.
