In view of IntechOpen's growing collection of publications within the field of Medicine, our own Head of Commissioning and Acquisition, Miss Ana Nikolic, will be attending the 7th International Symposium on Neuroprotection and Neurorepair to be held in Potsdam, Germany, May 2-5, 2012.

\n\n

Among other, renowned experts from all over the world and professionals in the field of stroke, Parkinson's and Alzheimer's disease will address and discuss the most recent research achievements and findings in key note lectures. Moreover, no parallel sessions have been scheduled during the main stage program while scientific discussions are to be fuelled by giving the opportunity to young scientists to present their research papers as well. Also, the program includes scientific posters sessions and extensive breaks to facilitate social interactions and future collaborations between attending scientists.

\n\n

The main topics discussed will address the following research areas within neuroscience:

\n\n

Neurodegenerative and ischemic diseases of the CNS
Mechanism of neurodegeneration and neuroregeneration
Targeted neuroregeneration and novel therapies
Imaging, diagnosis and cutting-edge methodology
Translational and clinical research
Miscellaneous contributions

Neuroscience has been a tremendously dynamic and ever-growing field of study especially in the past few decades in consequence of scientific advancements made in molecular biology, electrophysiology and computational neuroscience. In addition to conducting traditional research in labs and other facilities, neuroscientists have also been keen in promoting awareness and knowledge about this core scientific research area, educating the general public and advancing the understanding of the brain and nervous system. In this direction, to acknowledge the importance of neuroscience and its rapid growth,
