Track: Central Nervous System and Neuropathology

Neuropsychiatry 2025

The "Central Nervous System and Neuropathology" track delves into the intricate structure, function, and pathology of the CNS, encompassing the brain, spinal cord, and associated neural networks. This session emphasizes the latest research in understanding CNS diseases, innovations in diagnostic techniques, and emerging therapeutic strategies. Participants will gain comprehensive insights into the pathophysiology, molecular mechanisms, and clinical implications of CNS disorders.

Neuropathological Mechanisms of CNS Disorders:
This session explores the cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying CNS disorders such as neurodegeneration, inflammation, and trauma. Topics include insights into oxidative stress, mitochondrial dysfunction, and the role of neuroglia in disease progression.

Neuroinflammation and Immune Responses in CNS Pathology:
This topic focuses on the interplay between neuroinflammation and CNS diseases, highlighting the role of the blood-brain barrier, microglial activation, and immune-mediated mechanisms in conditions like multiple sclerosis and autoimmune encephalitis.

CNS Tumors and Neuropathology:
Explore the pathology of CNS tumors, including gliomas, meningiomas, and metastatic cancers. Discussions will cover advancements in histopathological techniques, molecular markers, and targeted therapies aimed at improving diagnosis and treatment outcomes.

Neuropathology of Neurodegenerative Diseases:
This topic examines diseases like Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, Huntington’s, and ALS. Discussions will focus on the accumulation of pathological proteins, neuronal loss, and the latest research into disease-modifying therapies.

Pediatric Neuropathology:
This session focuses on CNS pathologies unique to pediatric populations, including congenital malformations, leukodystrophies, and pediatric brain tumors. Participants will gain insights into early diagnosis and the development of age-appropriate therapies.

Advances in Neuroimaging and Diagnostic Techniques:
This topic highlights innovations in neuroimaging modalities, such as functional MRI, PET scans, and advanced microscopy, that enhance the diagnosis of CNS pathologies. Discussions will also cover the integration of AI in interpreting neuropathological data.

Emerging Therapies and Future Directions in Neuropathology:
This segment discusses cutting-edge research and therapies, including regenerative medicine, stem cell-based treatments, and the application of nanotechnology in CNS disorders. Attendees will explore how these innovations could revolutionize neuropathological care.

This track provides a holistic understanding of the central nervous system’s complexities, offering actionable knowledge to improve diagnostics, treatment, and research in neuropathology. It aims to foster collaboration among neurologists, pathologists, and neuroscientists for advancing CNS healthcare.
