Market Analysis

Brain Disorders 2020 Invites and welcomes delegates, presenters, sponsors, and exhibitors from all over the globe to Edinburgh, Scotland. We are delighted to invite you all to attend and register for the 9th International Conference on Brain Disorders and Therapeutics which is going to be held during August 21-22, 2020 at Paris, France.

Brain Disorders 2020 operating committee is gearing up for an exciting and explanatory conference program including plenary lectures, symposia, workshops on a variety of topics, poster presentations and various programs for participants from all over the world. Brain Disorders Congress, Paris, France is a sole meeting to unite globally recognized scholastics in the field of neuroscience and neurology, neurospecialists, general wellbeing experts, specialists, scholarly researchers, industry analysts, researchers to trade about best in class research and advances.

The motto of this gathering is to provide new ideas for treatment that will be valuable over the range of Brain Disorders and Therapeutics.

Neuromarketing is the application of neuroscience to marketing. Neuromarketing includes the direct use of brain imaging, scanning, or other brain activity measurement technology to measure a subject ’ s response to specific products, packaging, advertising, or other marketing elements. In some cases, the brain responses measured by these techniques may not be consciously perceived by the subject; hence, this data may be more revealing than self-reporting on surveys, in focus groups, etc.

Globally, the burden of neurological disorders (Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, stroke, epilepsy etc.) has increased substantially over the past 25 years. Neurological disorders (NDs) are the leading cause of death and disability in the world today. In 2015, they ranked as the leading cause group of DALYs (disability adjusted life years), comprising 10.2% of global DALYs, and the second-leading cause group of deaths, comprising 16.8% of global deaths. The most prevalent neurological disorders were tension-type headaches (about 1,500 million cases), migraine (about 1,000 million), medication overuse headaches (about 60 million), and Alzheimer's disease and other dementias (about 46 million cases). Between 1990 and 2015, the number of deaths from neurological disorders increased by 36.7%, and the number of DALYs by 7.4%.

One of the main reasons for the increase in neurological disorders is longer life expectancy. People live longer and, accordingly, suffer dementias more often than several decades ago, Vasily Vlassov explained. Another reason is a growing population. The more people, the more diseases are registered. Nevertheless, considering the number of cases per 100,000 people, there is a positive tendency - agestandardized rates of deaths and DALYs caused by NDs decreased by 26 and 29.7% respectively between 1990 and 2015.

The rates of cases per 100,000 people increased in such diseases as Parkinson's (by 15.7%), Alzheimer's (2.4%), motor neuron disease (3.1%), and brain and nervous system cancers (8.9%). Neurological diseases are widespread both in highincome and low-income countries. Meanwhile, high-income countries, as well as Latin American countries have the lowest rates of DALYs (less than 3,000 per 100,000 people) and deaths (less than 100 per 100,000) due to ND. The highest rates (over 7,000 and over 280 per 100,000 people respectively) were estimated for Afghanistan and several African countries. According to Vasily Vlassov, Russia is in the average group in terms of burden from ND, together with India and China. The number of patients who will need neurological care will continue to grow in the coming decades. It is important that policy makers and health-care providers are aware of these past trends to be able to provide adequate services for the growing numbers of patients with neurological disorders, the researchers concluded.

Scope and Importance

Neurological disorders are diseases of the brain, spine and the nerves that connect them. There are more than 600 diseases of the nervous system, such as brain tumors, epilepsy, Parkinson's disease and stroke as well as less familiar ones such as frontotemporal dementia. Neurological diseases include stroke (responsible for about 25% of severe disability in people living in their own homes), Alzheimer's disease, and Parkinson's disease. Another way of examining the burden of neurological disorders involves the time course of disease.
