International Conference on Neurologists November 27-27, 2020 Dubai, UAE

Track 1: Neurology and Neurosurgery

The specialization in the diagnosis and treatment of neurologic disorders in patients is termed as neuroscience. Neurology is about the study concerned with structure, function and disorders related to the nervous system. According to recent innovations in biosensor technology and wireless data transmission neuroscience plays a major breakthrough, requiring massive revisions in development of the nervous system and the brain and its impact on cognitive functions. Neurosurgery is an invasive technique applied in the treatment of neurological disorders

• Brain Development
• Cerebrovascular Disease
• Multiple Sclerosis
• Neurofibromatosis

Track 2: Paediatric Neurology

Paediatric Neurology is also called as Child Neurology. It is dealt with the branch of medicine dealing with the diseases of nervous system in new born, infants, neonates and children. The concept of child neurology incorporates disorders as well as diseases of the brain, spinal cord, central nervous system, autonomic nervous system, peripheral nervous system, muscles and blood vessels that affect individuals in these age groups. The symptoms are from simple disorders such as migraine or cerebral palsy through to more complex and rare conditions such as metabolic disease or neurodegenerative disorders.

• Concussion
• Neonatal neurology
• Brain malformations
• Autism
• Paediatric sleep disorders

Track 3: Psychiatry and Mental Health

Psychiatry is a branch which diagnosis, treatment and prevention of behavioural disorders. A mental disorder is nothing but a psychiatric disorder where it results in distress and impairment of functions. The causes for mental disorders are uncertain. Many health professionals are involved in the treatment like psychotherapist, neurologists, and psychiatrists. They assess the stage of illness by assessment of symptoms. Antidepressants and antipsychotics are generally used for the treatment of mental illness.

Mental health refers to our behavioural, and emotional disorders .Mental health affects daily routine life, physical health of the person.

• Anxiety disorders
• Personality disorders
• Phobias
• Eating disorders

Track 4: Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s Diseases

Dementia is not a single disease in itself; it is symptoms of loss of memory, communication, and thinking. Dementia increases with age. In every 4seconds there is a new case of dementia. Old people are mostly affected by dementia. Alzheimer’s disease is one of the types of dementia. This is caused because of protein abnormalities. Brain tissue of the person suffering from Alzheimer’s disease has less number of cells and the brain shrinks. Alzheimer’s disease is caused by lifestyle, genetics, and factors that affect the brain. Parkinson’s disease damages nerve cells in the brain which produces dopamine and the decrease in the dopamine levels causes abnormal activity that result in Parkinson’s disease. This disease is caused mainly due to loss of neurons which produces dopamine.

• Mood disorders
• Depression
• Changes in sleep habits
• Hereditary

Track 5: Clinical Neurology and Neuropsychiatry

Clinical neurology includes the diagnosis and treatment of brain damage caused by strokes or any injuries. Clinical Neuropsychiatry is the area of overlap between neurology and psychiatry which includes neurodegeneration, neuroinflammation, epilepsy, brain injury neurological disorders. Neuropsychiatry deals with mental disorders of the brain and spinal cord. Neuropsychiatry is closely related to the fields of neuropsychology and behavioural neurology.

Track 6: Neuropharmacology

Neuropharmacology is the study of drugs affecting the cellular function in the nervous system through which they influence behaviour. Drugs affecting human behaviour are the study of neuropsychopharmacology which affects the human brain. The study of neurons and neurochemical interactions is the molecular neuropharmacology. Researchers are developing drugs to treat the disorders like pain, mood disorders and addiction.

• Behavioural Neuropharmacology
• Molecular  Neuropharmacology

Track 7: Neurological Disorders and Stroke

The disorders of any part of the nervous system are considered as neurological disorders. The most common neurological disorders are Alzheimer’s and dementia. They affect the individual’s ability to think and make loss of memory. Alzheimer’s is associated with aging process and so there is no cure. Symptoms for neurological disorder include paralysis, muscle weakness, loss of sensation, seizures.

Stroke is occurred when brain blood vessels blocks, bleeds or ruptures. This damage in the brain prevents the supply of blood and oxygen to the brain tissues. Without oxygen human brain tissues and cells start dying and within minutes brain functioning stops.

• Embolic stroke
• Thrombotic stroke
• Intracerebral stroke
• Subarachnoid stroke

Track 8: Nursing Care in Neurology

Neurology nursing care  is based on preventing and treating conditions of the nervous system, including the brain, spinal cord, and nerves. Complete nervous system should be understood by them.  They should be having keen assessment and monitoring skills, vast knowledge about neurological disease and conditions. Neurology nursing is a place where nurses may work in outpatient or inpatient settings, care for surgical or medical patients and help patients even if there is an acute illness. Stroke, Dementia, Epilepsy, Seizures can be managed by these nurses.

Track 9: Neurotherapeutics, Diagnostics and Case Studies

Neurotherapeutics covers the research on experimental treatments of neurological disorders. The discoveries of novel diagnostic therapeutics, Sleep disorders, sinus headache, Neurogenesis, new therapeutics evolved for neurological disorders.

• Stem cells and treatment
• Cell and gene based approaches
• Neurotransmitter release and cell repair

Track 10: Neural Engineering

Neural engineering is also termed as neuroengineering which is related to biomedical engineering. This involves relationship of neurons, neural activity, and the nervous system that utilizes engineering techniques to understand the neural systems. The design problems of living neural tissue are solved by neural engineers.

• Neuro imaging
• Neural interfaces
• Neural networks

Track 11: Brain Injury and Behavioural neuroscience

Traumatic brain injury is caused by the penetration of any object into the brain tissue. Brain cells are temporarily affected if it is mild traumatic brain injury. Physical damage to brain, bleeding, torn tissues is done when more serious traumatic brain injury. These injuries result in deaths. Sudden jolts of the body or head results in brain injuries. Neuroscience involves the function, structure and genetics of the central nervous system.

Behavioural neuroscience deals with the psychological behaviour of the humans. This is also called as biological psychology.

• Brain Tumours
• Brain Cancer

Track 12: Ophthalmology and Visual Neuroscience

Ophthalmology deals with the disorders of eye. Visual neuroscience deals with the visual system of the body. Main aim of visual neuroscience is to understand the neural activity resulting in visual perception. This mainly focusses on brain mainly the visual cortex.

Track 13: Cognitive Neuroscience and Psychology

Cognitive Neuroscience is the study of biological processes that include cognition which have connections in the brain which are involved in mental processes. Cognitive actives are controlled or affected by the neural circuits in brain. Cognitive neuroscience includes both neuroscience and psychology. Neurons and parts of the brain play an important role in this field.  Psychology is combination of behaviour and mind.

• Functional neuroimaging
• Electrophysiology
• Cognitive genomics
• Behaviour genetics

Track 14: Addiction Psychiatry

Addiction psychiatry is a clinical speciality within the psychiatric patients mainly focuses on the evaluation, diagnosis, and remedy of human beings who are struggling from one or greater problems related to addiction. This might also consist of problems involving criminal and unlawful drugs, gambling, sex, food, and different impulse manage disorders. Addiction psychiatrists treat a wide variety of sufferers of all a while with varying conditions. Each case of dependency is special and ad psychiatrists should take care of every individual patient. Addiction psychiatrists have to recognize the numerous elements that tie into each individual's struggle with an addiction.

• Forensic psychiatry
• Hospice and palliative medicine
• Clinical neurophysiology

Track 15: Addiction Induced Brain Disorders

• Mental and emotional development
• Child behavior with peers
• Environmental influences in child behavior development
