Title of the symposium: 1
Different Shades of Huntington’s disease Organizer: Dr. Pragya Komal, Assistant Professor, BITS-Pilani, Hyderabad, India
Huntington’s disease (HD) is a fatal neuropsychiatric disorder characterized by
impaired memory, cognitive decline and uncoordinated movement, due to
death of neurons in the brain region called striatum. No drug is available to
completely cease or reverse the progressive Neuro-degeneration and
behavioural consequences of the disease. This demands intensification of
research in the field of HD and identification of therapeutics for treatment of
neurodegenerative disorders like HD. In this symposium, we will discuss
different aspects of HD responsible for cellular dysfunction like mitochondrial
impairment, oxidative stress, and Neuro-inflammation.

Title of the Symposium: 2
C20s in the Brain – Eicosanoids in Neuronal Health and Disease Organizer: Ravi Shankar Akundi, South Asian University, New Delhi, India.
The past few years have shifted the focus on lipids from being structural entities
to those mediating various functional roles as signaling mediators and
inflammatory markers. A major group of these bioactive lipids are eicosanoids, a
collective term for polyunsaturated fatty acids of 20 carbon unit length, which
have a common precursor in arachidonic acid, which itself is released from the
membrane phospholipids by the action of phospholipases. Among the ω-6 series
derived from arachidonic acid are the derivatives such as prostaglandins,
formed through the action of cyclooxygenase, leukotrienes through the action of
lipoxygenases, epoxy and dihydroxyfatty acids through the action of cytochrome
P450, and the nonenzymatically formed isoprostanes. While the roles of these
lipid mediators in pain perception and platelet aggregation is well-established,
newer roles for these eicosanoids have emerged in cancer and
neurodegenerative diseases.

Title of the Symposium: 3
"Modern Interventional tools for persons with disability" Organizer: Dr. Dinesh Bhatia, North Eastern Hill University, Shillong
The Symposia would provide exposure and include hands on training to the participants with
the theme “Modern interventional tools to improve Cognitive behavior in children with
neurodevelopmental disorders” that would allow to understand how diseased brain condition
could be improved and made to function similar to the normal human brain. This is one of the
major facets of the neuroscience research which encompasses most of these disorders and it is
one of the biggest challenges for survivors. Cognition could be defined as a mental process for
acquiring knowledge and understanding the thoughts, experiences and sensory process. The
cognition process encompasses domains such as attention, knowledge, working memory,
judgment and logical reasoning. These disorders could be accompanied by other disorders
such as epilepsy, speech deficits, hearing, vision and intellectual disability. Performing tasks for
cognitive changes in neurodevelopmental disorders is one of the most difficult tasks that
depend on neuro-modulation as they show difficulty in motor neuron functions such as rolling,
crawling, sitting, standing and walking with many other associated problems such as poor
understanding, intellectual disability, hearing impairment and visual impairment. In the area
of cognitive enhancement both physical milestones and the methods through which they can
be achieved are not well defined and enumerated. Presently, neuro-modulation technique is
an emerging medical and research field that targets the nervous system to do restoration of
functional performance, relief of pain and control of involuntary movements thereby
improving neuroplasticity. The key features of these Symposia would be emphasis on open
scientific discussion with experts, a hand on laboratory training experience and presentation of
the participants through group meetings. It would lead to generation of new technical know-
how and sharing of research ideas among the participants and experts for the advancement of
the field globally. The Symposia would integrate lectures of ethics in neuroscience research
and concerns while handling children with neurodevelopmental disorders. By organizing and
creating new technical know-how through these forums would provide new research
dimension leading to improvement in their lifestyle and reduction of stigmatization of such
population with their integration with the society.

“Myeloid-lymphoid activity to understand brain injury”
Organizer: Dr. Kumar Vaibhav, Dept. Neurosurgery, Medical College of Georgia,
Augusta University, Augusta Georgia, USA
Inflammation, which contributes toward both CNS injury and repair, involves both
immediate non-specific innate immunity and long lasting specific adaptive immunity, thus
causing chronic long-term deficits. Modulation of myeloid cells either, through cell-mediated
or therapeutically-induced, have proved to expedite the recovery, and improved functional
outcomes in different brain pathologies such as, intracerebral hemorrhages, hypo-perfusion,
traumatic brain injury or stroke. In order to understand the mechanisms behind brain injury
and to find an affordable and successful intervention that inhibit the injury in the initial
period of post insult, it is necessary that we share our knowledge on global platform. The
current symposium builds logically on prior work in this regard, which provides us with
additional knowledge in brain injury. Therefore, we are looking to propose a symposium
based on “myeloid-lymphoid activity post-brain injury” which includes, but not limited to
1. Myeloid activation in brain pathologies
2. Myeloid-lymphoid interactions in injured brain
3. Chronic behavioral and neurological deficits after brain injuries
4. Immune interactions in different brain pathologies
5. Immuno-genomics of brain pathologies
6. Immune cells in neurodegeneration

“Immunological and molecular approaches for diagnosis Of Neuroinfections & Neurological diseases”
Organizing by CIIMS, Nagpur, Maharashtra, INDIA Dated: 7th to 9th December 2020
About workshop Neurological disorders and diseases represent a significant cause or morbidity and mortality worldwide. Diagnostic tests are vital tools that help physicians confirm or rule out a neurological disorder /diseases along with severity which are difficult to rule out from radiological findings due to similar clinical manifestations especially in case of Bacterial / viral infections of CNS. Perhaps the most significant changes during the past 10-15 years have occurred in clinical diagnostics of CNS infections with number of immunological & molecular markers bursting into the scene that aid in early yet cost effective diagnosis for CNS diseases. In current workshop, we have included various immunological & Molecular techniques used for diagnosis of Neurological infection and disorders at CIIMS. Through comprehensive webinars and online technical events, workshops will provide detail and key insights to these techniques and approaches used to design effective diagnostics for detection of CNS disorders and diseases. In addition we have featured special sections on Medical bioinformatics, and Statistical analysis for students to bolster scientific interest & their application in research. Topic covered in the workshop
