Biology's fast-growing discipline of neuroscience is devoted to studying the composition and operation of the nerve fibres and cells that make up the nervous system Neuroscientists conduct experiments to understand the function and structure of the nervous system, especially about behaviour and learning. They specialise in molecular, biochemistry, physiology, and anatomy of the neurological system.
Neurosurgery is a critical and demanding field that requires a deep understanding of both the anatomy and function of the nervous system. It encompasses a wide range of procedures, from minimally invasive techniques like endoscopic surgery to complex operations such as craniotomies and spinal fusions. Neurosurgeons also collaborate closely with other medical specialists, such as neurologists, oncologists, and radiologists, to provide comprehensive care tailored to each patient’s needs. Advancements in neurosurgery, including the use of robotics, neuro-navigation systems, and intraoperative imaging, have significantly improved surgical precision and patient safety. These innovations allow surgeons to access and treat difficult-to-reach areas of the brain and spine with greater accuracy, reducing the risk of complications and enhancing recovery times.
Brain disorders encompass a wide range of conditions that affect the structure or function of the brain. These disorders can arise from various factors including genetics, injury, infection, or environmental influences. Some common brain disorders include:
1. Neurodevelopmental Disorders
2. Neurodegenerative Disorders
3. Psychiatric Disorders
4. Neurological Disorders
A stroke happens when there is a major decrease in or disruption of blood flow to a particular area of the brain. It is also known as a brain stroke or cerebrovascular accident. A stroke occurs when there is a substantial reduction or cessation of blood flow to a portion of the brain, depriving the brain tissue of vital nutrients and oxygen.
The evaluation and management of neurological conditions in children from infancy to puberty is the main focus of paediatric neurology. This speciality cares for young patients with disorders of the brain, spinal cord, nerves, and muscles. Evaluation of developmental delays, seizures, neuromuscular abnormalities, and other childhood-specific neurological problems is a speciality of paediatric neurologists.
The medical profession of psychology is devoted to diagnosing and treating mental health issues. They diagnose illnesses like schizophrenia, depression, and anxiety and provide a variety of therapies including medication, therapy, and lifestyle changes. Psychiatry seeks to improve functioning, lessen symptoms, and improve the quality of life for those with mental health issues.
The mechanism by which new neurons (nerve cells) are produced in the brain is known as neurogenesis. Although it mostly happens during embryonic development, it also persists throughout life in several parts of the brain, most notably the olfactory bulb and the hippocampal regions. Adult neurogenesis is thought to be continuing and contributes to memory, learning, and mood regulation.
Dementia is a broad range of cognitive deficits. It describes a reduction in memory. After a stroke, vascular dementia is the second most prevalent kind. The brain regions that are affected by dementia can be used to categorize cases; "cortical" dementia mostly affects higher-level abilities like language and reasoning, whereas "subcortical" dementia usually impairs memory and language less severely. Cortical dementia is caused by injury to the brain.
Alzheimer’s Disease is a prevalent neurodegenerative condition characterized by progressive cognitive decline, notably affecting memory and daily functioning. It is marked by the accumulation of abnormal proteins in the brain, leading to nerve cell damage and loss. Onset usually occurs in older adults, impacting millions worldwide. Alzheimer's poses significant challenges for patients, caregivers, and healthcare systems.
Trauma can have profound and long-lasting effects on mental health. This session will explore the relationship between trauma and various mental health disorders, with a specific focus on Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). Experts will present trauma-informed care approaches, evidence-based treatments, and new developments in trauma-focused therapies.
Our emotions, thoughts, and behaviours are shaped by optimal mental health, which gives us vitality and social fulfilment. Mental illnesses, which affect feelings, thoughts, and behaviour, require medical attention, particularly if they have a history of abuse at their core. Maintaining mental health supports physical well-being in general and cultivates the capacity to enjoy life and effectively navigate difficulties. A happy and balanced existence requires a strong mental health foundation.
Digital psychiatry refers to the integration of digital technologies into the field of psychiatry to improve mental health care delivery, assessment, and treatment. It encompasses various tools and platforms, including mobile applications, wearable devices, tele psychiatry, virtual reality, artificial intelligence, and online therapy platforms.
The study of changes in cellular phenotype or gene expression that do not relate to modifications in the DNA sequence itself is known as epigenetics. Rather, genes' on/off states are controlled by epigenetic pathways, which affect the proteins that the cell makes. Histone modifications, non-coding RNA activity, and DNA methylation are some of these pathways.
A subspecialty of psychiatry called ethno-psychiatry studies the relationship that exists between mental health, culture, and ethnicity. It places a strong emphasis on comprehending how social settings, cultural practices, values, and beliefs affect how mental illnesses manifest, are experienced and are treated.
A sub-branch in psychiatry that primarily deals with criminology is forensic psychiatry. It serves as the link between the legal system and psychiatry. In the criminal justice system, forensic psychiatrists primarily concentrate on the science of diagnosing and treating mental health issues. Their primary responsibilities include diagnosing patients, writing prescriptions, and doing client assessments.
Adolescents and teenage Therapists who specialise in the investigation and treatment of problems with reasoning, emotion, or potentially harmful behaviours that impact children, adolescents, and their families are known as psychiatrists. Psychotherapy or possibly medication is the main treatment used by child and adolescent experts for mental health concerns in the paediatric population.
The goal of suicide prevention is to lessen the likelihood of suicidal thoughts and actions while also fostering mental health. It includes a range of tactics used at the individual, group, and societal levels to recognise and assist those who are at risk as well as deal with the root causes of suicidal ideas and actions.
Depressive illnesses that affect older persons, usually those 65 years of age and above, are referred to as geriatric depression, often called late-life depression. Although depression can strike anyone at any age, there are particular obstacles that older adults may encounter that may lead to the onset or worsening of depressive symptoms.
Neurophysiology delves into the intricate workings of the nervous system, exploring how neurons generate and transmit signals that enable everything from simple reflexes to complex thought processes. It examines the roles of different types of neurons, synaptic connections, and neurotransmitters in facilitating communication within and between the brain and the rest of the body. Neurophysiologists can map out neural pathways by studying the electrical activity of neurons and understand how these pathways influence behavior, learning, memory, and emotion. This field also plays a crucial role in identifying and treating neurological disorders. Conditions such as epilepsy, Parkinson's disease, and multiple sclerosis can be better understood and managed through neurophysiological research, which seeks to pinpoint the disruptions in normal neural function that lead to these diseases. Advanced techniques, such as functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) and electroencephalography (EEG), allow researchers to visualize brain activity in real time, providing deeper insights into both healthy and pathological states of the nervous system.
