29^th Euro-Global Neurologists Meeting

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.
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.
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%
 

Neurodegenerative diseases represent one of the major problems to human health. These age-dependent disorders are increasing nowadays, because the elderly population has been increased in recent years Neurodegeneration is a feature of many debilitating, incurable diseases that are rapidly increasing in such prevalence, as Parkinson's disease. There is an urgent need to develop new and more effective therapeutic strategies to solve these devastating diseases. Examples of neurodegenerative diseases are Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, Huntington's disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, frontotemporal dementia and the spin cerebellar ataxias.

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.

Child neurology refers to a branch of medicine that 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. If a child has problems that involve the nervous system, the pediatric neurologist has the specialist knowledge to assess, diagnose, training and treat the child. The conditions deal with by pediatric neurologist's vary considerably, from relative disorders such as cerebral palsy or a migraine through to more complex and rare conditions such as neurodegenerative disorders or metabolic disease.

The geriatric neurology in older patients typically present with overlapping problems from various disorders, the effects of natural ageing can be difficult to disentangle from clinical conditions, and indistinct syndromes are common. Neurology of the older adult thus demands a more holistic and multidisciplinary approach distinguishing normal age-related changes from those that require treatment is a challenge.

Neurophysiology is the sub discipline 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 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.

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

Neurotherapeutics deals with the treatment methods and therapies of the nervous system and brain disorders. It is an indepth study for the development of new therapies for neurological and psychiatric disorders across the lifespan.

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.

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.

Neurotechnology is a fascinating and, at the same time, controversial field as one of its goals is to directly “wire up” human brains to machines. We should indeed expect to encounter such hybrid brain-machine systems more frequently in the future. These technical components are electrodes, computers, or intelligent prostheses. They are meant to either record signals from the brain and “translate” them into technical control commands, or to manipulate brain activity by applying electrical or optical stimuli. Closed-loop interactions of readout and stimulation systems (control circuits) are subject of current research as well.

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. Neuroimmunologists originally focused on classical neuroinflammatory disorders, such as multiple sclerosis and infections, there is strong evidence to suggest that the immune response contributes to genetic white matter disorders, epilepsy, neurodegenerative diseases, neuropsychiatric disorders, peripheral nervous system and neuro-oncological conditions, as well as ageing.

Neurooncology is a detail study of Brian and spinal cord it is one of the very dangerous and life threatening disease like astrocytoma, glioma, pontine, and brain stem tumors and much more. Astrocytoma is one of the worst disease in this the patients with proper treatment may control this disease and without proper treatment they may survive till months only.

The field of neurovirology was formed in the past 30 years. It was found to the discovery of the large number of virus and which are capable for invading establishment of large number of virus and also invading for establishing a latent infection in nervous tissue. Main focus of this field is to study about molecular and biological basis of induced virus diseases of the nervous system. It also studies the uses of these viruses as tracers of neuroanatomical pathway and as vector for gene therapy.

Neurotoxicology or Neurotoxicity is adverse change in a structure, function of the nervous system. The chemical or physical agent voluntarily and involuntarily exposed to a range of chemicals that affect the nervous system. Many billions of dollars spend every year voluntarily for purchasing chemicals such as caffeine, alcohol, and nicotine to influence the nervous system. Many of us are familiar with the undesirable effects of too much caffeine or alcohol, which form neurotoxicity.

Neuroanatomy is the study of the anatomy and organisation of the nervous system.  In contrast to animals with radial symmetry, whose nervous system consists of a distributed network of cells, animals with bilateral symmetry have segregated, defined nervous systems.

Peripheral neuropathy, means it’s a result of damage to the nerves outside of the brain and spinal cord (peripheral nerves), often causes weakness, numbness and pain, usually in your hands and feet other parts of the body are also affeted.

Neuroadaptation refers to a process where the body satisfy for a chemical's presence in order to function normally. For those who uses drugs or alcohol, this neuroadaptation  leads to tolerance and dependence over time.
