3^rd International Conference on Neurology and Psychology October 22-23, 2020 Tokyo, Japan

1. Clinical Psychology

Clinical Psychology is something that deals with the assessment of human abnormal behavior and its treatments. The common method of treatment for this type of abnormal behavior is Talk therapy or Psychotherapy which was first developed by Psychoanalyst Sigmund Freud; he was the first one who focused that mental illness can be treated with talking to the patients.

2. Behavioral Genetics

Behavioral genetics tells how the genetic composition of a person, the environment they are exposed to affect the behavior of that person. The technological advancements of genetic engineering in 21st Century have made it possible to measure and modify the genome of a person which is the key to behavioral genetics and later the Eugenics movement.

3. Biological Psychology

Biological Psychology is the only branch that says that there is an underlying physiological cause for all our emotions, thoughts, and feelings. For example the release of oxytocin in females leads to bonding behavior and so on... As behavior is controlled by central nervous system, physicians are trying to understand how the brain works to different stimuli like sense, perception, and motivated behavior.

4. Educational Psychology

Educational Psychology deals with behavior of a person during learning process from a cognitive aspect. Educational psychology helps the teacher to understand the development of his pupils, the range and limits of their capacities of learning. Its works by incorporating other branches like Developmental Psychology, Behavioral Psychology  and Cognitive Psychology.

5. Developmental Psychology

People go through so many physical and emotional changes over the course of their lives, while these changes are normal; developmental Psychology mainly focuses on studying these emotional, behavioral changes over their lifetime. These studies help in detecting abnormal changes and help to treat some of problems like depression, low self-esteem and others.

6. Applied Behavior Analysis

Applied Behavior Analysis is a type of treatment process which focuses mainly on improving specific behavior process. Unlike most of the therapies where they try to explain why and how the person behaves like they do, Applied Behavior analysis tries to replace bad with good; it uses positive reinforcement to bring that change. This method of therapy is mainly applied for autism patients.

7. Experimental Psychology

Experimental Psychology involves the fact based aspects. It establishes  the relationship between the activities of the brain and our behavior. Most of the experiments conducted in this area are done in Laboratory under controlled conditions. It also deals with hypothetical questions.

8. Psychological Testing and Measurement

Experimental psychology explores basic concepts, such as memory and motivation, in many areas, such as child, social and educational psychology. Almost all Experimental psychology work is conducted in controlled environments, such as university research labs. While every branch of psychology strives to understand human behavior and thought, experimental psychology solely focuses on controlled experiments with designated variables, test subjects and statistical results.

9. Psychological Disorders

Mental disorders (or Psychological Disorders) are conditions that affect your thinking, feeling, mood, and behavior. They may be occasional or long-lasting (chronic). They can affect your ability to relate to others and function each day. The causes of mental disorders are often unclear. Theories may incorporate findings from a range of fields. Mental disorders are usually defined by a combination of how a person behaves, feels, perceives, or thinks.

10. Social Psychology

Social psychology is a discipline that uses scientific methods "to understand and explain how the thoughts, feelings, and behavior of individuals are influenced by the actual, imagined, or implied presence of other human beings. Social psychology is all about understanding how each person's individual behavior is influenced by the social environment in which that behavior takes place.

11. Neurology

Neurology is the branch of medicine that deals with disorders of the nervous system, which include the brain, blood vessels, muscles and nerves. The main areas of neurology are: the autonomic, central and peripheral nervous systems. Illnesses, disorders, and injuries that involve the nervous system often require a neurologist’s management and treatment.

12. Neurogenetics

Neurogenetics studies the role of genetics in the development and function of the nervous system. The field of neurogenetics emerged from advances made in molecular biology, genetics and a desire to understand the link between genes, behavior, the brain, and neurological disorders and diseases.

13. Neurobiology

Neurobiology is the branch of biology that deals with nervous system functions and structures. More specifically, neurobiology focuses on the cells and tissues of the nervous system and ways in which they can form structures and circuits (pathways) for controlling the body.This system includes common structures, such as the brain and spinal cord, and nerves. Neurobiology can be classified as a sub-discipline within the broader field of physiology.

14. Neurosurgery

Neurosurgery is a specialization that treats diseases and disorders of the brain and spinal cord. Back pain can sometimes produce neurological symptoms such as numbness, muscle weakness, due to improper coordination of nerves. These symptoms are indicators that neurosurgery is required to treat the conditions which cannot be treated by normal methods. Neurosurgery include discectomy, laminectomy, and spinal fusion surgery. Often there is a higher risk of nerve damage and infection which may result in paralysis.

15. Neurological Disorders

Neurological disorders are diseases of the central and peripheral nervous system. In other words, the brain, spinal cord, cranial nerves, peripheral nerves, nerve roots, autonomic nervous system, neuromuscular junction, and muscles. These disorders include epilepsy, Alzheimer disease and other dementias, cerebrovascular diseases including stroke, migraine and other headache disorders, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's disease, neuroinfections, brain tumours, traumatic disorders of the nervous system due to head trauma, and other neurological disorders as a result of malnutrition.

16. Clinical Neuroscience

Clinical Neuroscience is a branch where it studies all mechanisms and changes during a brain or nervous system disorder, and it tries to develop new methods of treatment approach for these disorders, this branch of neuroscience is of more research oriented and experimental.

17. Cognitive Neuroscience

Cognitive neuroscience is the study of how the brain influences the mind. Cognitive science uses the experimental methods of cognitive psychology and artificial intelligence to create and test models of higher-level cognition such as thought and language. Cognitive Neuroscience acts as a bridge between brain and method.

Neuroscience is a branch of science that involves various methods to measure and image the brain activity. Neuroscience is a subject focusing on molecular, cellular, developmental, structural, functional, and medical aspects of the nervous system. The constant evolution of neuroscience research is due to the advancements in other branches like medicine, Pharmacy, biology, biomedical Engineering.

Neuroscience largely relies on various devices to collect information regarding the brain like pathophysiology of different neurological disorders as such Alzheimer’s, dementia, stroke, migraine, Parkinson’s diseases, brain tumors and other traumatic disorders of nervous system.

These devices consist of different instruments that are required for neuroscience-based experiments. Various types of electrophysiology instruments and imaging instruments are utilized to map the brain and examine the brain activity.

The global neuroscience market size was valued at US$ 26,593 million in 2017, and is expected to witness a compound annual growth rate of 3.9% over the a period of 2018 – 2026. The major reason for this steady growth is the increase in the prevalence of neurological disorders resulting in the high demand for medical diagnostics, understanding of pathophysiology for better treatment which in turn boost the demand for neuroscience devices.

According to World Health Organization (WHO) 2016 report, nearly 6 million people die due to stroke every year and around 80% of these deaths occur in low and middle income countries. Moreover, over 50 million people suffer from epilepsy and 47.5 million people from dementia, with 7.7 million new cases, annually worldwide.
