Knowledge about nervous system has intensively developed in the course of XX and XXI century. This fact undoubtedly inclines us to make a recapitulation and undertake some historical reflections on the one hand and look into the future on the other.
In the current year the anniversary of Ivan Pavlov’s Nobel Prize is celebrated. He was one of the most prominent European and world physiologists and founders of modern neuroscience who formulated a famous watchword: ‘’All diseases are caused by nerves”. It seems very interesting to look for an answer for the question, to what extent is this thought currently actual, how was it interpreted formerly and how should be understood today. Moreover, what perspectives may it prospectively open up for the future research.
Therefore we desire to propose you to undertake joint reflection on the most essential problems of neuroscience from a standpoint of the historical development and evolution of (patho)physiological thought as well as taking into consideration results of the present research.
We would like also to reflect upon great challenges which are unavoidable by virtue of technological progress expected in the near future. There exists a continuum of development in the history of science in particular which implies a strict connection between the past, present time and the future.
The Conference may be an excellent opportunity to present scientific achievements of research centres represented by the participants, the older as well as the newest ones.
Studies on the history of research on nervous system became an independent scientific discipline in other parts of the world a long time ago. However, so far it has not developed in the Middle Europe. Thus our Conference can give a stimulus for further development thereof. We propose to undertake a discussion about such particular problems like:
- History of research on nervous system
- Central integrative function of central nervous system
- Role of the nervous system in modulation of immune response and maintenance of homeostasis of the human organism
- Psychosomatics and role of (psycho)neurogenic factors in the pathogenesis of somatic disorders
- Ethical issues emerging due to medical advances in diagnostics and treatment of CNS diseases
- Reflection on problems of neuroscience in culture and texts of humanities across various epochs.
Any papers going beyond this framework are wellcomed as well but they should be related to broadly understood neuroscience. Neither geographic scope nor chronological period of the submitted papers are limited. We invite all interested researchers who represent various medical, natural sciences as well as humanities to participate in the Conference. Thereby we would like to underline a genuinely interdisciplinary character of neuroscience and studies on history thereof.
The time for every speaker will be 20 minutes.
Abstracts should be submitted until 24 November 2024 via e-mail: rkanarkowski@gmail.com
Abstract should contain between 1000-15000 characters including spaces. The Organizers reserve the right to select received abstracts. The list of the accepted papers will be announced until 29 November 2024.
The conference fee is 100 EURO for researchers, 80 EURO for doctoral students and 60 EURO for students. It includes conference materials, coffee breaks and publication of the delivered paper in the peer-reviewed Conference Proceedings.
It should be borne in mind that only the papers which will be positively evaluated by revievers and editors will be accepted for publication.
Costs of accomodation remain at discretion of the participants. The Organizers of the Conference may help to find a suitable place.
For any inquiries, please contact: rkanarkowski@gmail.com
Further information will be given in the second call.
