Neuropsychopathology studies the structure and function of the brain as they relate to specific psychological processes and behaviors. It's an experimental field that aims to understand how behavior and cognition are influenced by brain functioning and is concerned with the diagnosis and treatment of behavioral and cognitive effects of neurological disorders. The term has been applied to lesion studies in humans and animals. It has also been applied to efforts to record electrical activity from individual cells in higher primates.

Central nervous system disorder is a broad category of conditions in which the brain does not properly function, limiting health and organs functionality. The CNS disorders conditions include the result of damage from brain cancer, degenerative condition, infection, stroke, or problems rose from neurological factors. Meningitis is the neuroinfection or inflammation of the meninges, surrounded by three-layered membranes of the brain, spinal cord and the fluid and immersed in is called as cerebrospinal fluid. Whereas, Encephalitis which is defined as inflammation of the layers of tissue or membranes covering the brain. While the complexity of the central nervous system presents unique challenges for developing novel therapies.

It is the part of the nervous system that consists of the nerves and ganglia on the outside of the brain and spinal cord. The main function of the PNS is to connect the central nervous system to the limbs and organs, essentially serving as a communication relay going back and forth between the brain and spinal cord with the rest of the body. Unlike the CNS, the PNS is not protected by the bone of spine and skull, or by the blood–brain barrier, which leaves it exposed to toxins and mechanical injuries. The peripheral nervous system is divided into the somatic nervous system and the autonomic nervous system, some textbooks also include sensory systems.

Neurological disorders are diseases of the brain, spine and the nerves that connect them. There are more than 600 diseases of the nervous system, such as brain tumors, epilepsy, Parkinson's disease and stroke as well as less familiar ones such as frontotemporal dementia.

Neuromuscular disorders affect the nerves that control the voluntary muscles. Voluntary muscles are the ones that can be controlled, like in arms and legs. Nerve cells, also called neurons, send the messages that control these muscles. When the neurons become unhealthy or die, communication between the nervous system and muscles breaks down. As a result, the muscles weaken and waste away. The weakness can lead to twitching, cramps, aches and pains, and joint and movement problems. Sometimes it also affects heart function and your ability to breathe.

The numbers of "psychiatrists" have been steadily increasing over the last 30 years, psychiatrists more so than neurologists. 893 certified psychiatrists were registered by the end of 2002 which corresponds to roughly one psychiatrist per 9.000 inhabitants. Untreated mental illness can mean reduced employment, family breakdown, homelessness and suicide. The burden extends beyond the individual to family and friends. Neuropsychiatric disorders are the second cause of disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) in Europe and account for 19%, with only 4% after cardiovascular disorders. About 27% of the adult population had experienced at least one of a series of mental disorders which includes problems arising from substance use, psychosis, depression, anxiety and eating disorders. Mental illness affects people of all ages, with a significant impact on many young people.

The human spine is a rigid self-supporting structure consisting of 33 bones (vertebrae) connected by ligaments and muscles. It runs from the base of the skull to the pelvis. The vertebra is divided into different regions: Cervical, thoracic, lumbar, sacrum, and coccyx; each performs its own function. An intervertebral disc separates and cushions each vertebra in the spine. Thirty-one pairs of spinal nerves arise from the spinal cord which transmits signals back and forth between the body and the spinal cord. Damage to Spine could seriously impair the ability of ones control over sensation and movement. A neutral spine or a good posture refers to the "three natural curves which are present in a healthy spine".

A neuron also known as nerve cell is an electrically excitable cell that processes and transmits information through electrical and chemical signals. These signals between neurons occur via synapses, specialized connections with other cells. Neurons can connect to each other to form neural networks. Neurons are the core components of the brain and spinal cord of the central nervous system (CNS), and of the ganglia of the peripheral nervous system (PNS).

Neuro-oncology is the study of brain and spinal cord neoplasms, many of which are at least eventually very dangerous and life-threatening. Among the malignant brain cancers, gliomas of the brainstem and pons, glioblastoma multiforme, and high-grade highly anaplastic astrocytoma are among the worst.

Neuroimaging is the visual representation of structure and function of brain and nervous system. It includes various techniques such as CT, MRI, and PET for diagnosis. According to the world market for Point of Care (POC) diagnostics by June 2, 2015 is $4,200 billion is the investment in neuroimaging. Neuroinformatics, Neural Simulation,  Neural coding, Structural Bioinformatics,    Bioinformatics, Clinical Research Informatics, Neuromorphic Computing, Radiation Toxicity and Sickness, Interventional radiology, Big Data Analysis, Psychiatric Brain are the main topics of discussion under this track.

Stem cells have the remarkable potential to develop into many different cell types in the body during early life and growth. In addition, in many tissues they serve as a sort of internal repair system, dividing essentially without limit to replenish other cells as long as the person or animal is still alive. When a stem cell divides, each new cell has the potential either to remain a stem cell or become another type of cell with a more specialized function, such as a muscle cell, a red blood cell, or a brain cell.

The aim of Regenerative Neurology is to encourage regeneration of the damaged nervous system to restore function. Please see our Research Strategy for more information.

Neuropsychotherapy is a branch of medicine which deals with the mental disorders attributable to diseases. In the study of mental disorders like Obsessive-compulsive disorder, Bipolar disorder, Schizophrenia, Addictive Disorders, Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, Dissociative disorder, Pediatric Psychiatry, Adolescent Psychiatry neuroimaging is an essential process. Neuropsychiatric disorders are the second cause of disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) in Europe and account for 19%. About 27% of the adult population had experienced at least one of a series of mental disorders which includes problems arising from substance use, psychosis, depression, anxiety and eating disorders, personality disorder. Mental illness affects people of all ages, with a significant impact on many young people. The burden of mental illness is increasing day by day.

Neurosurgery or neurological surgery is the medical specialty concerned with the prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and rehabilitation of disorders which affect any portion of the nervous system including the brain, spinal cord, peripheral nerves, and extra-cranial cerebrovascular system. Spinal Neurosurgery, Brain Neurosurgery, Traumatic Neurosurgery, Paediatric Neurosurgery, Pituitary Neurosurgery are some of the topics to be discussed under this track.

Forensic child psychology is the intersection between psychology and the justice system. It involves understanding fundamental legal principles, particularly with regard to expert witness testimony and the specific content area of concern (e.g., competence to stand trial, child custody and visitation, or workplace discrimination), as well as relevant jurisdictional considerations in order to be able to interact appropriately with judges, attorneys and other legal professionals.
