SUMMARY:Neuroscience and Society: A Life Course Approach to Brain Health - Science Summit of 79th United Nations General Assembly
DESCRIPTION:As part of the Global Brain Coalition\, the European Brain Council (EBC)\, Brain Capital Alliance\, Davos Alzheimer’s Collaborative\, Meadows Mental Health Policy Institute and UNICEF hosted a two-day\, high-level side event at the 79th United Nations General Assembly\, in collaboration with partner organizations\, in the framework of the Science Summit at the 79th United Nations General Assembly (UNGA79) in New York City on 19-20 September 2024 at Cure. \nIn line with the Science Summit’s core focus of examining policy\, regulatory and financial environments needed to implement and sustain the science mechanisms required to support global scientific collaborations and demonstrate the role and contribution of science in attaining the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)\, the two-day event highlighted existing partnerships and the immense potential and benefits of extending global collaboration in the brain space\, for science\, policymaking\, and society as a whole. \nBrain disorders – encompassing neurological diseases and disorders and mental illnesses – are widespread\, disabling\, and difficult to treat. In fact\, it is estimated that up to three billion people worldwide live with a neurological condition and 970 million people around the world were living with a mental health disorder as of 2019. These conditions represent a high individual\, social and economic burden and contribute immensely to the global burden of disease – in fact\, as of 2024\, neurological conditions alone are now the leading cause of ill health and disability worldwide. \nTo work towards explicit and tangible next steps in solidifying global efforts in addressing the burden and overall brain health\, this two-day event showcased the importance and urgency of prioritizing brain health across all policies at the global level and build on the Call to Action launched at UNGA78. Addressing the immense global burden of brain disorders means investing in research and innovation in the brain health space to power our understanding of the brain\, stay ahead in the quest to find treatment and cures and work to prevent any further increase in the prevalence of these conditions. Furthermore\, at the socio-economic level\, policies and investments to boost brain power can increase productivity\, stimulate greater creativity and economic dynamism\, afford social cohesion\, and create a more resilient\, adaptable\, and sustainability-engaged populace. \nKey stakeholders from across the wider brain community – scientific\, clinical\, economic\, industry – and other relevant actors met to present on their work and co-create towards further action to place brain health at the top of global policy agendas in the post-Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) era. This action was incredibly timely\, particularly in 2024\, where 64 countries worldwide are hosting major elections and we are witnessing times of major political\, economic\, and overall societal shifts and instability. Furthermore\, at the global level\, the United Nations enters a period of preparation for the future\, with the Summit of the Future kicking off during UNGA79 to plan for the post-2030 agenda and a High-Level Conference on NCDs planned in 2025. \nThe days focused on three key areas\, through presentations\, guided panel discussions and interactive discussion: \n\nThe challenge\, impact and need for action;\nBrain health and society – the brain in the life course;\nBoosting global partnerships\, capacity building and investing in neuroscience.\n\nTopics touched on throughout the two days showcased just how relevant the brain and brain health is to society\, not only in terms of burden of disease\, healthcare and research\, but also touching key issues such as the built environment\, school-centred care\, neuroscience in policymaking and judiciary decision making\, neurotechnology and so much more. Watch the full event recording on YouTube the follow key moments\, panel discussions and presentations from the high-level conference\, including a Keynote Address by the Governor of New York\, Kathy Hochul. \nRead our Press Release announcing the formation of the Global Brain Coalition. \n \nFinal AgendaScience SummitDay 1 2024 Full Day RecordingFor privacy reasons YouTube needs your permission to be loaded.

SUMMARY:Towards the BrainHealth Partnership | 37th ECNP Congress
DESCRIPTION:EBC is pleased to hold a Panel Discussion ‘Toward the BrainHealth Partnership‘ at the upcoming ECNP Congress. \nBrain disorders – neurological and mental alike – are widespread\, highly disabling and often difficult to treat. Approximately 60% of the European population lives with a neurological condition and one in six citizens in Europe is affected by mental ill-health. These numbers are alarming without considering that they date back to before the COVID-19 pandemic\, which we now know spurred higher rates of mental health conditions as well as COVID-triggered neurological complications\, continuously on the rise in times of societal instability. These conditions represent a high individual\, social and economic burden and contribute to the global disease burden and disability. At the end of 2023\, the EU-funded Coordination & Support Action (CSA) BrainHealth launched\, preparing for a European Partnership on Brain Health\, planned for the European Commission’s 2nd Strategic Programme of Horizon Europe in 2025-2026. With the aim to further coordinate and structure the area of brain health research in Europe\, the CSA BrainHealth is the result of a common vision and a goal to promote brain health regionally and globally\, as well as promoting the brain health of citizens. This vision has been supported by the main players in the field for many years – JPND\, NEURON\, EBC and EBRAINS \nChairSuzanne DicksonSuzanne L. Dickson is Professor of Physiology/Neuroendocrinology at the Sahlgrenska Academy at the University of Gothenburg\, Sweden (2004-). She graduated first from the University of Edinburgh with a BSc (Honours) in Pharmacology (1993) and then from the University of Cambridge (UK) with a PhD in Neuroendocrinology (1993). Recently the University of Edinburgh appointed her Honorary Professor in Biomedical Sciences in acknowledgement of her work on the neuroendocrinology of appetite. Prior to her current appointment\, she held a tenured position as Senior Lecturer in Physiology at the University of Cambridge\, UK (1996-2004). Her current research focus is the role of the endocrine gut-brain axis in appetite control. This work builds upon almost 20 years research exploring the central actions of ghrelin and\, before its discovery\, growth hormone secretagogues (now known to be ghrelin mimetics). Her work was first to show that these ghrelin mimetics act in the brain\, that they target an orexigenic system (the neuropeptide Y cells in the hypothalamus)\, that they are important for food intake and fat accumulation and\, more recently\, target brain reward pathways. Recent work includes the impact of gut hormones\, especially ghrelin\, on food choice\, food reward\, food motivation\, food anticipation\, habitual and impulsive behaviours as well as behaviours linked to mood. Suzanne has coordinated three successful European Union large integrated projects in the field of obesity\, diabetes and appetite. Part of this work involved coordination of a consensus on “Food Addiction”. These projects involve wide international networks and collaborations that cross many scientific and geographical borders. \nSpeakerKristien AartsKristien has been part of the European Brain Council since 2019 where she currently leads the research team. In this strategic role\, Kristien plays a pivotal role in ensuring that the organization’s work is grounded in scientific evidence\, research\, and innovation. Her responsibilities include monitoring research funding\, project applications\, overseeing EU-funded projects\, and developing a rare brain disease ecosystem. She also manages the Brain Innovation Days program and is actively creating an evidence-based brain health toolbox for the team. Kristien has a PhD in Psychology from Ghent University (Belgium). With diverse experience at Lyon Neuroscience Research Center\, the European Health Management Association and the University of Utrecht\, Kristien brings expertise in brain research\, neuropsychology\, emotion\, cognition\, multisensory processing\, mindfulness\, clinical research management\, and EU-project management. \nExpertsSabine Hölter-KochSabine Hölter-Koch is a behavioural neuroscientist heading the Behavioural Unit at the German Mouse Clinic at Helmholtz Munich\, Germany and lecturer at Technical University Munich. Her research focuses on the translational relevance of behavioural and brain phenotypes of genetic mouse models for neurodevelopmental\, neurodegenerative and rare diseases. Her group has worked on phenotypes that are relevant across disorders\, phenotype progression over the lifetime including influences of environmental factors\, and on somatic comorbidities of brain disorders. She has contributed to several EU-funded projects since 2003 (EUMORPHIA\, EUMODIC\, INFRAFRONTIER2020\, LDLensRad\, CAQIII) and coordinated PREMOS\, the cluster on Predictive Model Systems of the European Brain Research Area. Currently she serves as co-lead of the Behaviour & Sensory Workgroup of the International Mouse Phenotyping Consortium (IMPC)\, as Science Communication Coordinator of COST Action CA20135 “Improving biomedical research by automated behaviour monitoring in the animal home-cage”\, as member of the EBRAINS Science & Technology Committee\, and member of the European Brain Council Animal Research Task Force. For ECNP she serves as Chair of the Preclinical Data Forum Network and member of the Workshop Committee 2023-2026. \nRoger AdanRoger Adan is Professor of Molecular Pharmacology at the University Medical Center Utrecht at the Utrecht University in the Netherlands. His research concerns unraveling the neural circuits that underlie behaviors relevant to psychiatry with a focus on eating disorders. \nMartien KasMartien Kas is Professor of Behavioral Neuroscience at the Groningen Institute for Evolutionary Life Sciences at the University of Groningen\, the Netherlands. The research of his group focuses on determinants of behavior\, especially of behavioral strategies and of biological processes that are essential across species and that are affected in various neuropsychiatric disorders (e.g.\, social interaction and sensory information processing). By means of cross-species genetic analysis of neurobehavioral traits (of mice and men)\, they aim to identify genotype-phenotype relationships relevant to the development and treatment of autism spectrum disorders\, Alzheimer’s Disease\, eating disorders\, and schizophrenia. These studies will lead to the understanding of conserved gene function in regulating essential behavioral strategies and will ultimately improve therapeutic and preventive strategies to contribute to healthy aging. In addition\, he is Executive Committee Board member and President of the European College of NeuroPsychopharmacology (ECNP)\, Editorial board member of Mammalian Genome\, and project coordinator of the PRISM1 and PRISM2 projects\, two large EU Innovative Medicine Initiative (IMI) projects that aim to unpick the biological reasons underlying social dysfunction\, which is a common early symptom of Schizophrenia\, Alzheimer’s disease and Major Depressive Disorder. \nMonica Di LucaMonica DiLuca has been professor of Pharmacology at the University of Milano since 1999. She is at present the Director of Department of Excellence of Pharmacological and Biomolecular Sciences of University of Milano. She is a member of the EMBO and has received major international distinctions and awards\, including a Docteur Honoris Causa University of Bordeaux (2019) and a Laurea Honoris Causa Faculty of Medicine and Pharmacy\, Univ. of Mons (2017). Her primary research interest is related to synaptic plasticity both in physiological and pathological conditions\, with the primary aim to apply her basic findings to the cure of neurodegenerative diseases as Alzheimer Disease. Her discoveries enriched our understanding of glutamatergic synapse in physiology and pathology\, increasing our knowledge on plasticity and memory and leading to new tools for neuroprotection. A prominent trait of Monica DiLuca’s career is her deep and exigent involvement in sharing ideas over borders and establishing collaborative multi stakeholder networks merging scientists\, clinicians and patients’ organizations. She has played a pivotal role in international organizations for neuroscience research in connection with societal challenges\, including serving as President of Federation of European Neuroscience Societies (FENS) and European Brain Council (EBC). She is currently the President of Italian Society for Neuroscience. \nLEARN MORE ABOUT ENCP CONGRESS 2024

SUMMARY:Promoting Brain Health for Everyone\, Towards a More Sustainable and Healthy Future
DESCRIPTION:From 24 – 27 September\, the hybrid European Health Forum Gastein (EHFG)\, guided by the theme “Shifting sands of health”\, will explore solutions for the complex interplay of democracy\, demographics\, and digitalisation in Europe’s evolving health landscape. The EHFG 2024 is co-organised by the Austrian Federal Ministry for Social Affairs\, Health\, Care and Consumer Protection\, in collaboration with the World Health Organization Regional Office for Europe\, and with support from the European Union. The EHFG 2024 will hold a consultation process with participants to collaboratively develop a priority letter on health to the next European Commission. \nEBC will take part in a session organized by the European Academy of Neurology (EAN)\, titled “Promoting Brain Health for Everyone: Towards a Sustainable and Healthy Future” at the hybrid EHFG 2024 on 25 September. \nAccording to the latest studies\, more than 43% of the global population has a neurological disorder and estimates for mental health are 25%. The combined burden of brain disorders represents a major challenge. This requires a holistic concept of brain health which places an emphasis on prevention\, optimising quality of life\, and on addressing neurological and psychiatric comorbidities. This session will explore the multifaceted concept of brain health\, emphasising its impact on healthcare systems\, economic well-being\, and societal health. \nBuilding on recent research and initiatives\, the session will highlight the importance of integrating brain health into national public health policies. Expert panel discussions will address demographic shifts\, economic implications\, and innovative policies needed to support brain health. Participants will gain insights from national strategies\, such as the Swiss Brain Health Plan\, and explore how European-level efforts are shaping the future of brain health. \nBy bringing together perspectives from science\, academia\, public sector\, and civil society\, the session aims to foster collaborative approaches and policy interventions. \nLearn moreRegister
