This Nature Conference examines how energy metabolism in the brain impacts neurological function and disease. Recent technologies have expanded our understanding of metabolic processes among neurons, glia, and other brain cells, as well as the brain's role in whole-body metabolic homeostasis.
Over 20 leading experts investigating brain metabolism across multiple disciplines will convene to share findings and exchange ideas that are advancing this critical field.
Topics covered include:
• Research connecting neuroscience, metabolism, and systems biology
• Mechanisms of brain-periphery communication in energy regulation
• Fundamental aspects of brain metabolism and its implications for neurological diseases
• Methods for studying metabolic dynamics in the brain
• Collaborative approaches to solving complex questions in brain metabolism
This conference provides a platform for meaningful scientific exchange and networking with researchers driving progress in brain metabolism research. Join us in Saudi Arabia for this opportunity to connect with the global scientific community advancing our understanding of brain energy metabolism in health and disease.
