GoingToMeet

Topics or Highlights of the Meeting: 

• Neurodevelopment & Mechanisms
• Sensory & Motor Systems
• Cognition & Behavior
• Disorders of Nervous System
• Drug Development

Brain diseases, in particular neurodegenerative diseases, represent a growing public health concern. Understanding the biology of neuronal cells (neurons) and their communication with neighboring cells at synapses is crucial in order to know the defects and pathophysiology of brain disorders. To discover and develop innovative drug compounds for these central nervous system diseases it is essential to gather intellectual minds from academia, biotech and pharmaceutical industries to have a forum. Such forum will enhance knowledge and dissipate of data and ideas which will ultimately bring more scientific and business collaborations.

The conference will bring together experts and young researchers with diverse backgrounds in molecular and cellular neurobiology, biochemistry, electrophysiology, behavior, cognition, perception, and disease biology, and the first conference discussing new developments in this highly interdisciplinary area of brain research. The conference should be interesting for graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, professors from academia and scientists, directors and executives from industry, as well as for anyone interested in brain functions and their associated diseases. Authorities in the filed will be invited as key speakers. Few speakers will be also selected from the applicants, based on the submitted abstracts. Dedicated time will be allowed for presentation of posters and viewing the exhibits and to know the available cutting-edge reagents, services in the field.
