8th International Meeting STEROIDS and NERVOUS SYSTEM TORINO
8th International Meeting STEROIDS and NERVOUS SYSTEM TORINO
Dear Colleagues,
After a very successful series of meetings (the last was in February 2013), we invite you to the 8th International meeting on Steroids and Nervous System, which will once again be held in Torino, between 14-18 February, 2015.
As during the previous meetings, we will address state-of-the-art approaches in the field of steroids and nervous system, including behavior, epigenetics, genomic and non-genomic actions, aging, synaptic connectivity, psychiatric disorders. A satellite symposium entirely dedicated to "Gender influence on neurodegenerative and psychiatric disorders" will be held the day 14.
We will have 3 keynote lectures, 7 half day symposia, one special lecture on innovative advances in neurosteroid research and interactive poster discussions during the coffee and lunch sessions.
Symposia
- Current perspectives on neurobehavioral sexual dimorphisms
- Neurological consequences of disordered steroid signaling
- Could men and women undergoing (early) menopause benefit from specific phytoestrogenic products to reduce later life dementia risk?
- Stress in pregnancy: long-term effects on steroid pathways
- Neuroactive steroids and glial cells
- Gaba-a receptor modulating steroid antagonists (GAMSA). A new treatment concept for CNS disorders.
- Locally derived estradiol in the prefrontal cortex and hippocampus enhances memory and blocks deleterious effects of stress
For each symposium 4 speaker will present general overviews as well as novel work undertaken by leading laboratories in the field. A few additional short communications (selected by the Organizing Committee) will complete the symposia. As in previous editions, posters' discussion will be the place to discuss emerging trends and new developments of the field.
We are looking forward to your participation
Roberto C. Melcangi and GianCarlo Panzica
