Theme: Gene-environment interactions in neurological disorders: a contemporary update The school aims to provide a rounded scholarly contemporary update on gene-environmental interactions in the pathogenesis of neurological disorders. The global burden of neurological disorders continues to rise with huge consequence on quality of life. Though genetic vulnerabilities have been established as major risk factors for these disorders including Alzheimer’s Parkinson’s, autism, amongst others, contributions from environmental factors to pathogenesis of neurological disorders are overwhelming particularly in many idiopathic forms. Hence,…

This large-scale advanced school on basal ganglia and movement disorders will take place over two weeks. The first week will focus on basics lectures of neuroanatomy, neurochemistry and neuropharmacology and on technical workshops. We programmed 4 technical workshops: one on neuroanatomy of small mammals, the second on behavioral tests and 6-OHDA rat model of Parkinson's Disease, the third on Immunohistochemistry and a last one on High Phase Liquid Chromatography. The neurochemical workshops will focus on the identification and measure of…

This edition will focus on Integrative Neuroscience with special emphasis on the neurochemical, histological and physiological bases of peripheral and central nervous system function in health and disease. Place: The proposed ISN School will take place in the Institute of Histology and Embryology (IHEM Faculty of Medical Sciences, Cuyo National University), Mendoza, Argentina.

Place: Ljubljana, Slovenia
