The 25th Neuropharmacology Conference 2015 will be held in Chicago, USA from 15-16 October 2015, under the theme: Synaptopathy - From biology to therapy.

Synaptic pathology has recently been recognized as a common feature in a wide variety of childhood and adult brain diseases.

Bridging the gaps in our understanding of the basic biology of synapses, the causes of synaptopathy and the challenges in developing novel therapeutic approaches will be the goal of the meeting.

The program will showcase academic and industry scientists tackling fundamental molecular mechanisms, drug discovery, animal models and clinical studies.
