Major Sessions and Tracks

TRACK 1: NEUROLOGY

                Nervous system plays a vital role in the human behaviour, in which Neurology is a branch of biological science that deals with the disorders of the nervous system. Neurology is used to diagnose and treat diseases called neurological disorders related to the nervous system. 

TRACK 2: NEUROSCIENCE

                Neuroscience (neurobiology or neural science), deals with study of development of nervous system. Neurons are the main cause for transmitting nerve signals. On advancements of molecular biology and computational research, the study of the nervous system is increased significantly. 

TRACK 3: NEUROPHYSIOLOGY

                Neurophysiology means the addition of physiology and neuroscience. Electrophysiology measures the electrical activity of neurons. There are two types of technologies involved in this process. They are internal recording and external recording. Some methods like Brain mapping, Electrophysiology, Brain stimulation, Encephalography are used in neurophysiology.

TRACK 4: NEUROANATOMY

                Neuroanatomy consists of the central nervous system which has brain, spinal cord and the peripheral nervous system which consist of sensory nerves and the sensory organs. Three different types of neurons are found. They are afferent neurons, Efferent neurons and interneurons. 

TRACK 5: NEUROPHARMACOLOGY

                Neuropharmacology is the term that deals how the drugs affect cellular function of the nervous system. Molecular pharmacology and behavioural pharmacology are the two main types of neuropharmacology. To know about the advances in the medicine of neuropharmacology, it is important to know about the neurochemical interactions between the neurons-neurons.

TRACK 6: NEURO-ONCOLOGY

                Neuro-oncology tells about the study of the brain and the spinal cord neoplasms. Most of the neuro-oncological diseases are dangerous and life threatening and some of them may even die within a few months.

TRACK 7: NEUROPSYCHIATRY

                Neuropsychiatry is the addition of two disciplines neurology and psychiatry. It is used to treat mental disorders caused in the nervous system. It addresses on the investigation of brain injury or brain disease of different. Neuropsychiatry will link the mind, body and behaviour. Neuropsychiatric conditions include depression, addictions, childhood and development, Eating disorders, mood disorder, sleep disorder.

TRACK 8: NEUROTRANSMITTERS

                Neurotransmitters are the endogenous chemicals that are used in neurotransmission. They transmit their signals by chemical synapse. Amino acids, gas transmitters, monoamines, trace amines, peptides and purines are the different classification of neurotransmitters. It influences as excitatory, inhibitory or modulatory. Acetylcholine, Dopamine, glutamate, glycine, histamine, and serotonin are the some of the examples of neurotransmitters.

TRACK 9: NEUROPSYCHOLOGY

                Neuropsychology deals with the emotion, behaviour, cognition and the function of brain. It is concerned with the diagnosis and treatment of behavioural and cognitive effects of neurological disorders. It shares the information related to cognitive psychology and cognitive science.

TRACK 10: NEUROLOGICAL DISORDER

Diseases that are affected in brain, spine and the nerves that connect them are called neurological disorder. Treatments like brain mapping are used. Neurological diseases are caused by infections, genetic disorders and lifestyle, also by the small change in the neuron’s structural pathway. Peripheral neuropathy, brain tumour, stroke, cranial nerve disorder, seizure disorders migraines sleep disorders are some of the classification of neurological diseases.

TRACK 11: NEURODEGENERATIVE DISEASES

                Neurodegenerative diseases leads to the change in the structure, function or even it may leads to death. It affects the persons of the age of above 60. Alzheimer’s diseases, Huntington’s disease and batten diseases are some of the examples of neurodegenerative diseases. Dementia. Memory loss, agitation, anxiety, apathy and forgetfulness will be some of the symptoms of neurodegenerative diseases.

TRACK 12: NEUROSURGERY

Neurosurgery is also called as brain surgery. It is a surgical treatment used for to treat injury, disorders of brain, spinal cord and spinal column. Neurosurgery is for both adult and paediatric. Endo vascular neurosurgery, epilepsy surgery, peripheral nerve surgery and paediatric neurosurgery are the main divisions of neurosurgery.
