Neuroimmune Mechanisms of Brain Function and Alcohol Related Disorders



Event: Neuroimmune Mechanisms of Brain Function and Alcohol Related Disorders
Location: Satellite Symposium at the Society for Neuroscience Annual Meeting in San Diego, CA
Start Date: 11/12/2010 8:30 AM
End Date: 11/12/2010 5:00 PM


The purpose of this satellite symposium is to provide fundamental insights on neuroimmune factors contributing to changes in brain function due to alcohol exposure.

It aims to promote and broaden investigations into the role of neuroimmune factors in the response to and adaptation of the brain to alcohol exposure. Scientists with expertise in neuroimmune function, signaling mechanism, and in alcohol research will be brought together to discuss neuroimmune dysregulation and its impact on alcohol related disorders.

The areas of focus include: CNS development and neurogenesis; neuroplasticity and neuroadaptation; neuroprotection and neurodegeneration. The panel discussion will identify priorities and research opportunities of neuroimmune mechanisms underlying alcohol related disorders and alcohol drinking behavior.

Registration for the symposium is free but required due to limited seating.
