Climate Change Effects on CNS Re-programming and Associated Disorders

About the school:

The scientific activities of this virtual workshop will focus on addressing the effects of environmental challenges on mental health and diseases especially in the African continent. This workshop is held  in conjuction with the Egyptian COP27  Presidency in 2023.

Increasing awareness and linking neuroscience research strategies is urgently required to better understand the effects of environmental stressors on evolving human personality. This workshop will discuss:
– Nervous system activities in health and disease
– Causes of global warming and awareness with the sustainable development goals
– Diseases caused by global warming (nervous system infection, substance abuse, stress, etc.)
– The mental health of the peoples of the African continent in attempts to adapt to global warming.

In addition to basic lectures, intensive practical content will be delivered to introduce modern techniques in conducting experiments using molecular biology, imaging tools, bioinformatics and their applications in the field of neuroscience.

This school is open to doctoral and post-doctoral fellows in the Africa, Asia-Pacific, Pan-Europe, Latin America, and US/Canada regions. Young researchers/neurologists affiliated with African universities are strongly encouraged to apply.
