19th Global Neuroscience and Neurology Conference
Theme: Ameliorations in Technologies and Treatments
Neuroscience
is a multidisciplinary field that encompasses a wide array of modalities to
study the pathology and function of the brain. The brain holds the secret to
explaining body responses in both healthy and disease states. Research of brain
function is thus fundamental to understanding a range of debilitating
conditions, including stroke, Alzheimer's disease, and multiple sclerosis, and
developing strategies to prevent and treat them.
Brain
imaging is a powerful tool for investigating brain microstructure, vasculature,
and activity and how these are affected by neurological and psychiatric
disorders. Advances in neuroimaging tools have allowed more and more
complicated questions to be addressed. Preclinical animal imaging has proved
particularly valuable, providing a high level of sensitivity and specificity
and study designs not possible in clinical settings. In vivo and ex vivo
imaging studies have defined the pathologic mechanisms underlying various
diseases, which in turn enabled the development successful therapeutic
interventions. Biomarkers and brain pathologies indicative of Alzheimer's
disease identified using brain imaging are being used to develop innovative
strategies to prevent clinical manifestation of this devastating condition.
