Track: Central Nervous System

Central Nervous System

The Central Nervous System (CNS) session explores the latest breakthroughs in understanding and treating CNS disorders. From neurodegenerative diseases to spinal cord injuries. The Central Nervous System (CNS) is the control hub of the human body, responsible for managing a vast array of functions that are essential for life. This session is designed to provide a deep dive into the intricate workings of the CNS and its role in health and disease, inviting participants to explore both fundamental neuroscience and cutting-edge innovations. We will explore diverse topics ranging from neurodegenerative diseases to spinal cord injuries, while examining emerging technologies that aim to restore, protect, or enhance CNS function.

This session will begin by examining the development and plasticity of the CNS, looking at how the brain and spinal cord are shaped throughout life. This will include discussions on neurodevelopmental processes and the CNS's remarkable ability to adapt and reorganize in response to injury or experience. By understanding this plasticity, we can better appreciate how neurological rehabilitation can be optimized.

Neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s will also be major focal points, as they are increasingly prevalent challenges in neuroscience and medicine. Attendees will gain insights into the latest research on the underlying mechanisms of these conditions, as well as new approaches to treatment and care. The Central Nervous System (CNS) session will explore the complexities of CNS trauma and stroke, examining both the short- and long-term impacts on individuals' lives and exploring innovative interventions aimed at promoting recovery.

One of the highlights of this session is our exploration of cutting-edge technology and its applications in CNS research. Attendees will be introduced to advancements in CNS imaging, neuroinflammation studies, and gene therapy. This session will also investigate how artificial intelligence is being applied to CNS research, providing new avenues for understanding brain function and predicting disease progression.
