Track: Neuro Anatomy

The "Neuro Anatomy" track explores the intricate and essential structure of the nervous system, highlighting its anatomical components and their roles in function, development, and disease. This track covers the detailed anatomy of the brain, spinal cord, and peripheral nervous system, with an emphasis on how these structures relate to neurological disorders and diseases. Participants will gain insights into the latest advancements in neuroanatomical research, cutting-edge imaging techniques, and the critical implications of neuroanatomy for clinical practice, diagnosis, and treatment.
Structural Brain Anatomy: Mapping the Complexities of the Cerebrum
This session will focus on the detailed anatomical structure of the brain, particularly the cerebrum. The discussion will cover key regions such as the frontal, temporal, parietal, and occipital lobes, as well as subcortical structures like the thalamus, basal ganglia, and hippocampus. The session will emphasize the functional significance of these regions in cognition, motor control, and sensory processing.
Neurovascular Anatomy: Understanding Blood Supply to the Brain
This session will delve into the neurovascular anatomy of the brain, examining the arterial and venous systems that supply blood to the nervous system. Key topics will include the Circle of Willis, cerebrovascular territories, and the blood-brain barrier. The session will also discuss the clinical implications of vascular malformations, strokes, and ischemic events.
Spinal Cord Anatomy: Structure and Function in Sensory and Motor Pathways
The spinal cord is a critical part of the nervous system, serving as a conduit for sensory and motor information between the brain and the body. This session will provide an in-depth exploration of spinal cord anatomy, covering the organization of gray and white matter, spinal nerve roots, and key neural pathways. Clinical topics such as spinal cord injuries, disorders, and the effects on motor and sensory functions will also be discussed.
Cranial Nerves and Their Functions: A Detailed Overview
This session will focus on the anatomy and functions of the twelve cranial nerves. Participants will learn about the role of each cranial nerve in motor and sensory functions, including those involved in vision, taste, hearing, balance, and facial movement. The session will also explore common cranial nerve pathologies and their clinical manifestations.
Neuroanatomy of the Autonomic Nervous System: Control of Involuntary Functions
The autonomic nervous system (ANS) regulates involuntary functions such as heart rate, digestion, and respiratory rate. This session will focus on the anatomy of the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems, highlighting their role in maintaining homeostasis and responding to stress. Clinical conditions like autonomic dysfunction and neurogenic disorders will also be covered.
Neuroanatomy in Neurodegenerative Diseases: Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, and Beyond
This session will focus on the neuroanatomical changes that occur in neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, and Huntington’s disease. Participants will learn about the pathological changes in brain structures, including the hippocampus, basal ganglia, and cortex, and their relationship to the clinical symptoms of these disorders.
The "Neuro Anatomy" track will provide attendees with a comprehensive understanding of the brain and nervous system's structure, offering valuable insights into how anatomical knowledge directly influences clinical practice, diagnosis, and the treatment of neurological conditions.
