Abstract

From October 30–November 1, 2015, the 7th NEUROWIND e.V. meeting was held in Motzen, Brandenburg, Germany. Seventy doctoral students and postdocs from over 25 different groups working in German and Swiss University Hospitals or Research Institutes attended the meeting to discuss their latest experiments and findings in the fields of neuroimmunology, neurodegeneration and neurovascular research. This meeting report summarizes the many diverse presentations and the new preclinical to clinical neurology research data that were shared by the participants at the meeting.

Highlights

  • The meeting was regarded as a very well organized platform to support research of young investigators in Germany and all participants enjoyed the stimulating environment for lively in-depth discussions

  • Dr Classen highlighted the potential of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation or constant transcranial direct current stimulation in neuro-psychiatric diseases

  • Since Rock is expressed both in neuronal cells and in glial cells, the relevant cellular target of ROCK inhibition remains to be determined in the central nervous system (CNS)

Summary

Introduction

The meeting was regarded as a very well organized platform to support research of young investigators in Germany and all participants enjoyed the stimulating environment for lively in-depth discussions. Since Rock is expressed both in neuronal cells and in glial cells, the relevant cellular target of ROCK inhibition remains to be determined in the CNS. Aiden Haghikia (Bochum) presented data on the modulation of the immune response by short and long chain fatty acids.
