SBNeC SATELLITE SYMPOSIUMS
October 15th, 2016
Symposium 01
Title: Brain Diseases: Neuroenergetics and Neuroprotection
Chair:Diogo Onofre Gomes de Souza
Institution:Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul
Department:Biochemistry
Country:Brazil
Abstract:Recent advances in neuroenergetics have highlighted the importance of neuron-astrocyte metabolic interactions. Astrocytes contribute to a variety of neuronal functions, including synapse formation and plasticity, energetic support and redox status. Disturbances of these neuron-astrocyte interactions are likely to play an important role in brain diseases. This Symposium will discuss a wide range of approaches in this theme.
