Neuroscience Symposium – From Inflammation to Intervention, Neuroimmune Crossroads: Mechanisms, Models, and Medicine
Neuroinflammation lies at the intersection of immune signaling, neural circuitry, and disease progression. Over the past decade, extraordinary advances have deepened our understanding of microglial activation states, peripheral immune infiltration, cytokine signaling cascades, and the long-term consequences of inflammatory stress on cognition and behavior.
The challenge before us is clear:
- How do we move from descriptive findings to actionable therapeutic targets in brain tumors, migraine, sleep disorders, and epilepsy?
- How do we design interventions that modulate inflammatory pathways without disrupting essential neuroimmune communication in multiple sclerosis (MS), CIDP, epilepsy, headache disorders, and myasthenia gravis?
- How can we integrate biomarkers, advanced imaging, and AI-driven computational models to predict therapeutic response in Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease?
This conference is a call to refine our tools and bridge the gap between mechanism and intervention. As we move from neuroinflammation to neurointervention, we are not merely mapping pathways—we are building bridges: between academia, clinical science, industry, government, and advocacy communities.
Join us as more than 250 members of the interdisciplinary neuroscience community—spanning neurology, psychiatry, immunology, psychology, neurosurgery, and translational research—come together to transform neuroinflammation from a diagnostic clue into a therapeutic opportunity.
Exercise Your Brain with Better Hearing – Healthy Living for Your Brain and Body
Hearing health plays a powerful—and often overlooked—role in brain health. Untreated hearing loss has been linked to increased risk of cognitive decline, social isolation, and changes in brain function, yet many people delay evaluation and care for years.
Join us for this statewide virtual education program with Dr. Robin Wielens, founder and audiologist with Island Audiology in Honolulu, as she explores the connection between hearing and brain health. Participants will learn how hearing loss affects the brain, why early detection matters, and practical steps to protect both hearing and cognitive health at any age.
This program is designed for adults of all ages, caregivers, and anyone interested in proactive brain health and healthy aging.
For centuries, we’ve known that the health of the brain and the body are connected. But now, science is able to provide insights into how to make lifestyle choices that may help you keep your brain and body healthy as you age. Join us to learn about research in the areas of diet and nutrition, exercise, cognitive activity and social engagement, and use hands-on tools to help you incorporate these recommendations into a plan for healthy aging.
