This Satellite Symposium brings together researchers from world-leading laboratories studying the elusive roles of NO signalling in the brain. We will focus on physiological and pathological effects of this so-called Janus molecule which is involved in regulating proliferation, survival and differentiation of neurons, in synaptic activity, neural plasticity and memory function. NO is a crucial molecule to promote survival and differentiation of neural cells and exerts long-lasting effects through regulation of transcription factors and modulation of gene expression.
Over recent years, research studying nitrergic signalling to characterise its role in physiology and disease has progressed substantially and this symposium is timely as it will discuss those recent findings which have not been presented in recent meetings. The invited speakers with diverse backgrounds will focus on the functions of NO and relevant signalling molecules in neurophysiology and pathology.
