| 4.BRAI2013 — 8th Brain Research Conference: RNA Metabolism in Neurological Disease |
| Dates | 07 Nov 2013 → 08 Nov 2013 | [ID=532022] |
| Location | San Diego, United States |
| Abstract | Complex networks of RNA-protein interactions regulate post-transcriptional gene expression. RNA metabolism is particularly complex in neurons, involving extensive diversification of gene expression through splicing and redistribution of RNA subsets to the distant compartments where they ultimately function. In recent years, perturbation of RNA metabolism has emerged as a consistent underlying defect in certain neurological diseases, suggesting that aspects of RNA metabolism that are unique to the nervous system may also create unique vulnerabilities. |
| Topics | RNA Metabolism , Neurological Disease, ALS/FTD: TDP-43, FUS, C9ORF72, Myotonic dystrophy, FXTAS, SMA, Any connections to AD, MicroRNAs and other ncRNAs, Therapeutics: ASOs, siRNA |

| 5.23rd Neuropharmacology Conference 2013: The Synaptic Basis of Neurodegenerative Disorders |
| Dates | 07 Nov 2013 → 08 Nov 2013 | [ID=541901] |
| Location | San Diego, United States |
| Abstract | There is increasing evidence that neurodegenerative diseases have at their basis dysfunctions in the receptors and ion channels subserving synaptic communication. This would explain the cognitive decline and neurological and motor symptoms associated with a host of chronic disorders such as Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s and Huntington’s diseases. Understanding the cellular and molecular events underpinning such synaptic dysfunction is a key goal if we are to halt or even reverse the inexorable deterioration currently observed in these conditions. Accordingly, much insight has already been gleaned on the genetics, protein misfolding, cell death pathways and mitochondrial involvement in chronic neurodegenerative diseases. From this insight has come greater knowledge of the fundamentals of synaptic function, but more so an appreciation of the potential, not only for drug-based therapies, but also biological treatments, for example via stem cells. This conference will bring together world experts addressing the very mechanisms of neurodegeneration and the prospects for treatments that such knowledge promises. |
| Topics | Synaptic dysfunction in Parkinson's disease; Circuit and Synapse dysfunction in Alzheimer’s disease; Protein misfolding, autophagy and synaptic dysfunction in neurodegenerative diseases; Trans-synaptic prion-like spread of neurodegenerative processes; Synaptic integration of iPS-derived neurons and their use in neurodegenerative disease; Genetic and mitochondrial determinants of synaptic dysfunction in neurodegenerative disease; Targeting synapses with therapeutics in neurodegenerative disease. |
