Computer simulations of voltage gated sodium channels: from ion conduction to drug discovery
Ion channels play essential roles in many physiological functions, such as nerve conductions and sensations. Traditionally, electrophysiological measurements have obtained huge insights into the ion conduction and the regulation of channel activity. The underlying mechanisms of these functions should be, in principle, related to molecular motions, and thus observation of such molecular motions is necessary to fully understand the mechanisms. While experimental observation is not yet possible, molecular dynamics (MD) simulations offer a clue: MD simulations use computers to solve the Newtonian equation of motions and visualize the dynamics of ions, channel proteins, lipids, and water molecules at the atomic scale. Recent developments of structural biology have yielded many ion channel structures, which are available for initial configurations for MD simulations. With recent high-performance computers, MD simulations of ion channels can provide not only visualization but also fundamental explanations for physiological functions such as ion conduction and selectivity. Therefore, MD simulations are now becoming a powerful and general tool in physiological studies of ion channels. This symposium will present recent advances in this field that are helpful for understanding (1) ion conduction and selectivity mechanism through the K+ channels, (2) those through the Na+ channels, (3) those through Ca2+ channels, and (4) mechanism of action of drugs such as local anaesthetics and antiepileptics.

Mitochondria are an extraordinary example of the axiom ‘Form ever follows function’: they are dynamic organelles with crucial roles in many essential physiological functions related to cellular metabolism and homeostasis. Mitochondrial function declines with normal ageing, and compromised mitochondria have been implicated in many chronic diseases. Exercise can stimulate mitochondrial biogenesis, leading to a new normal and many health benefits. A fascinating and important question is what are the molecular mechanisms triggered by different types of muscle contraction that positively affect mitochondrial biogenesis? In this symposium, scientists from New Zealand, Japan, and Australia will present the latest published and unpublished research decoding the critical physiological signals that allow skeletal muscle contraction to create new normal mitochondria. In the first talk, Dr Chris Hedges will use a comparative physiology approach to help understand how mitochondria adapt to physiological extremes – from insects, to birds, to fish, to mammals, to elite endurance athletes. In the second talk, Prof. Hideo Hatta will highlight the latest research from his team and others shaping a new paradigm for the role of lactate in physiology. While originally considered a dead-end metabolite causing fatigue, new research suggests that lactate generated in both physiological (e.g., during exercise) and disease (e.g., cancer) contexts may be an important metabolic signal regulating mitochondrial biogenesis. In the final talk, Prof. David Bishop will present the latest research describing how high-intensity exercise is characterised by the activation of transcriptional pathways associated with mitochondrial stress and the unfolded protein response, combined with structural mitochondrial disturbances, suggesting increased activation of mitochondrial quality control pathways. Results from whole-muscle and single-fibre proteomics performed on human muscle samples will also be presented in support of these findings. In summary, this session will provide an important update on how different physiological stresses help create new normal mitochondria.

Musculoskeletal Disorders and Occupational Stresses Among House Maids of Kolkata, India
Informal work takes place in that part of an economy that is not monitored by any form of government regulation resulting in non-adherence to prevalent labour laws of the concerned country. Workers in the informal sector work incessantly to make a living and consequently develop physical or physiological stress. Labour productivity takes precedence over the health and safety concerns for these workers. Demand for investigation of health and safety issues is a common and genuine demand for workers of informal sector that covers 95 percent of women workers worldwide and is a larger source of employment for women than for men. Women are reporting physiological ailments, physical and mental stress and other health hazards. In 2001, at the International Labour Conference, the challenge for the applications of work comfort in informal sectors was greatly discussed. This topic on informal works is selected to initiate a brainstorming discussion at an international forum to search for strategies, policies and implementations of solutions that could enhance the quality of life of workers in the informal sector. In this symposium, speakers who have made significant contributions from diverse disciplines like occupational health, economics, ergonomics and work and exercise physiology to improve the quality of life and wellbeing of the workers in the informal sector are being nominated to discuss about the sufferings of informal sector workers particularly female workers and to find out ways to alleviate their sufferings. With a view to provide a healthy work environment, it is felt that this conference is an appropriate platform to highlight and discuss physiological, occupational and other health related issues of these workers and to propose appropriate solutions to enhance their life pattern towards a healthy wellbeing.

Higher brain functions, such as learning, memory, and emotion, are expressed by the orchestrated spatiotemporal sequential activities of individual neurons in multiple brain regions. Recently, it has been suggested that glia, traditionally known as the glue in the brain, contribute to the formation of neural circuits by regulating synaptic transmission, the supplement of the nutrition, the number of neurons and synapses during development and maturation. Abnormalities in glial functions may lead to developmental disorders and psychiatric diseases. In this symposium, we will introduce the latest findings of glial physiological function in learning-related synapstic plasticity and for neuronal circuits and brain information. We will also use genetic and imaging approaches to explore the possibility of targeting glia for the treatment of central nervous system (CNS) diseases.

Beyond the pandemic: How will we use this knowledge to aid student learning?
Laboratory classes are often considered the cornerstone of science education. Such classes allow students to gain greater understanding of theoretical content and gain skills in scientific methods and practices (1),(2). These ‘generic’ skills are often the most critical learning gains in laboratory classes, as they represent the transferable skills students need to succeed in the workplace. However, the onset of the COVID pandemic had a major impact on physiology education, both with regard to students’ engagement with learning content and educators’ delivery of learning materials. In particular, laboratory classes were significantly impacted(3). As the pandemic continued, educators had to develop and evaluate innovative methods to both deliver practical content and to replicate opportunities for students to develop skills normally gained in laboratory classes. Given the critical nature of these skills, a major focus of educational research undertaken during the pandemic was evaluating the skills students learn during laboratory classes and the ways in which various delivery modes could influence students’ skill development (4),(5). This symposium will highlight lessons learned from the pandemic, exploring the type and nature of skills students learn from both an academic and student perspective. Furthermore, it will examine how differing laboratory class design and delivery modes impacted students’ learning gains and discuss how this should influence future curriculum and class design beyond the pandemic.

Aging is a challenge for modern life since modern life is related to the bad lifestyle habits. A long and healthy life is what everyone needs to achieve. Certain countries in the world have people with high life expectancies, while many other countries have lower life expectancies. Various ways are done to make the average human age able to reach 100 years or more. Many factors affect a person's age, including daily living habits such as eating healthy and enough food, exercising regularly, enough sleep and rest, also avoiding factors that can cause degenerative diseases or movement disorders.
Cells in the human body are mostly short-lived. Therefore, the senescent cells are widely detectable in embryonic stage and young adulthood. To maintain stable cell population of challenged tissues, a dynamic balance of cell regeneration and cell death is required from repopulating stem cells resided in peripheral tissues during inflammation. However, stem cells develop senescence following a limited cycle of cell division.
Various studies have been conducted to obtain various factors that can improve a person's health, fitness and mental status especially at the time of retirement. Therefore, the discussion of various factors related to efforts to prevent the aging process needs to be elucidated from several aspects. For this reason, this seminar to be held includes several topics related to efforts to prevent aging or to achieve longevity. Especially discussing about the role of nutrition and physical activity on muscle strength, flexibility, cardiovascular capacity, improved mitochondrial function, improving of body cells conditions, suppressed chronic inflammation including using specific nutrient and senolytic supplement to enhance the senescence cellular-lowering effect of exercise and results in an improved endurance performance of aging adults. -

Activation of KATP channel in brown adipose tissue attenuates depression-like symptoms through dopaminergic neurons in the ventral tegmental area
With the high similarity in physiology and genetics, mice have become the preferred animals for modern biomedical research. Moreover, the recent invention of new tools, including genetic editing, cell-type- specific manipulation, high-resolution in-vivo imaging, and big datasets in biomedicine, has revolutionized our understanding of brain functions under normal and pathological manifestation. This symposium will invite four leading physiologists to share their latest research about using advanced mouse models to investigate the pathophysiological aspects of brain diseases. The topics include imitation behavior/autism, vascular physiology/stroke, energy metabolism/depression, and social behavior/stress. We highly anticipate great idea exchange among the physiologists at this symposium will provide new foundations for both basic and clinical neuroscience, especially in the era of precision medicine

Physiologic aspect of Nutraceutical agents as Cell Energetic, Mitochondria for exercise performance
Nutraceuticals agents may be used to improve health, delay the aging process, prevent chronic diseases, increase life expectancy, or support the structure or function of the body. The food products used as nutraceuticals can be categorized as dietary fibre, prebiotics, probiotics, polyunsaturated fatty acids, antioxidants, and other different types of herbal/ natural foods for supporting treatment like obesity, cardiovascular diseases, cancer, osteoporosis, arthritis, diabetes, cholesterol etc. In whole, ‘nutraceutical’ has led to the new era of medicine and health, in which the food industry has become a research oriented sector. Unfortunately, by the global market is flooded with nutraceuticals and cosmeceuticals claiming to be of natural origin and sold with a therapeutic claim by major online retail stores. Apart from the traditional formulations, many manufacturers and researchers use novel formulation technologies in nutraceutical and cosmeceutical formulations for different reasons and objectives. Manufacturers tend to differentiate their products with novel formulations to increase market appeal and sales. On the other hand, researchers use novel strategies to enhance nutraceuticals and cosmeceuticals activity and safety. Thus, physiological assessment and health facts proven are very important to be understood. To understand deepness of nutraceutical’s physiological impacts, we design a session with subtopic as followed : Nutraceutical as ROS regulator, Friends or Foe; Inflammation/Immune system and nutraceuticals; Metabolic Regulation and nutraceutical; Physiologic aspect of Nutraceutical agents as Cell Energetic, Mitochondria for exercise performance. The objective of sessions is to assess the current understanding in nutraceuticals and cosmeceuticals. Our session will provide an overview of physiological perspective of nutraceuticals and cosmeceuticals current technologies, highlighting their pros, cons, misconceptions, regulatory defin

Mitochondrial homeostasis and its role in diseases
During tumorigenesis, cancer cells promote the recruitment of stromal cells including endothelial cells, cancer-associated fibroblasts, stellate cells, adipocytes, and immune cells from neighboring tissue, establishing a dynamic tumor microenvironment to modulate the cancer progression. Moreover, recent studies suggest that the microbiome and its metabolic products also play a key role in almost every step of cancer initiation, progression, and metastasis. The tumor microenvironment coordinates proliferation, angiogenesis, and metastasis via the secretion of a variety of growth factors, cytokines, and bile acids, reprogramming cellular metabolism. In this session, four distinguished speakers will present their latest discoveries on how stromal cells and cancer cells communicate with each other. This session may allow us to find the vulnerability of these interactions, which can be harnessed to treat cancers.

Clinically oriented teaching of physiology - transition from discipline-based to integration-based curriculum in Tehran University of Medical Sciences
Organ-system based curriculum is adopted by many medical colleges worldwide. It integrates multiple subjects, including the anatomy, histology, physiology, pathology, pharmacology and clinical courses. Students learn to form the integrative thinking from the macroscopic to the microscopic perspective, from the morphology to the function, and from the normal condition to the disease state. However, there remains some open questions for the application of organ-system based curriculum. What are the teaching objectives of this integrated curriculum? How to organize the teaching contents? What kinds of teaching methods can be used to achieve those goals? How to attain the satisfactory integration but not simple combination? How to evaluate the outcome of the integration? What are the limits or disadvantages of organ-system based curriculum compared to the traditional subject-based curriculum? Most important is how to improve the collaboration of basic-clinical teachers in teaching. The exploration of these questions is helpful for promoting the better application of the organ-system based curriculum in the medical colleges.

Microbiota dysbiosis and gut barrier dysfunction: cause or consequence?
The human body harbors up to 1014 microbes with over 1000 species of microorganisms found in cohort studies. These bacteria, vira, archaea, and fungi populated the gastrointestinal tract, respiratory tract, mammary glands, and skin. The composition and metabolites of microbiota played essential roles in maintaining a mutually beneficial relationship termed symbiosis for human health. Nevertheless, microbiota dysbiosis may predispose to disease development. Gut microbiome is constituted of mostly four bacterial phyla, Bacteroides, Firmicutes, Actinobacteria, and Proteobacteria. Another core component is the gut virome composed of Caudovirales order and Microviridae family. The gut microbes are normally confined in the lumen and are not in direct contact with epithelium which is a crucial barrier with subcellular structures of tight junctions and brush borders to maintain a symbiotic relationship. While the host provides space and nutrients for microbial growth, eubiotic microbiota are involved in pathogen competition, epithelial turnover and barrier fortification, metabolic functions, and shaping of the mucosal immunity. Microbiota dysbiosis are associated with the pathogenesis of many human diseases, including colorectal cancers, breast cancers, inflammatory bowel diseases, type 2 diabetes, metabolic disorders, and neurodegenerative diseases. Accumulating evidence implicated the emergence of pathobionts (opportunistic pathogens converted by commensals) and their imbalance with eubiotics played critical roles in disrupting the gut barrier and promoting polygenic disease development. In the post-human genome era, much attention is now focused on this complicated yet neglected ecosystem. The co-evolution of host and microbes is now considered a critical aspect for maintenance of human health, which is a new era that awaits to be explored in the modern discipline of physiome.

Using Network Interaction to Predict Translational Regulation in Centella asiatica-Induced Synaptic Plasticity
Neurodegenerative diseases are pathologies characterized by the irreversible destruction of certain neurons and progressive and incapacitating loss of certain functions of the nervous system and are the main causes of dementia. Neurodegenerative diseases are caused by genetic and environmental interactions. Several biological processes play important roles in the development of neurodegeneration. This is an extraordinarily significant factor influencing neuropathology, especially progressive neurodegeneration. However, the cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying this pathological procedure have not been fully elucidated. This meeting will describe the mechanisms related to
neuroplasticity and neurodegeneration and in the degenerative processes and cell death and discuss the effectiveness of several strategies that may create neuroprotection, neurorehabilitation, and increase the quality of life. -

Structural basis for diamide modulation of ryanodine receptor
In skeletal muscle, the depolarization of t-tubule membrane triggers Ca2+ release from the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) to cytoplasm via ryanodine receptor type 1 (RyR1) on the SR membrane, which results in the subsequently muscle contraction (known as excitation-contraction coupling (ECC)). ECC of skeletal muscle has attracted a great attention and, in addition, recent advances in structural analysis using cryo-EM and rapid genome-wide screens have led us to many novel findings in the physiological and pathophysiological properties of ECC in skeletal muscle. Here, in this proposed symposium, we would like to address recent advances in ECC under multilateral approaches. Dr. Murayama and his colleagues (Japan) have proposed molecular mechanisms of disease-causing mutations in the components of ECC and possible therapeutic approaches using a reconstituted ECC machinery (1). Dr. Lee and her colleagues (Korea) have been investigating intra- and extra-cellular Ca2+ movements in skeletal muscle and pathological mechanisms in muscular dystrophies in terms of Ca2+ movements (2). Malfunctions of RyR1 by mutations cause various skeletal muscle diseases including malignant hyperthermia and various types of myopathies. Dr. Yamazawa and her colleagues (Japan) have been investigating the RyR1 inhibitors using transgenic mice with RyR1 mutations, which would be useful to control the skeletal muscle functions in disease states (3). Dr. Yuchi and his colleagues (China) have investigated the structure of RyR and its modulations by insecticides, which would give us rationale design of novel insecticides (4). We are very sure that this symposium will fulfill the interests of FAOPS members who are investigating physiological and pathophysiological properties of muscles, including cardiac, skeletal or smooth muscle.

After the ‘resolution revolution’ of the cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM), structures of many ion channels have been revealed owing to the astonishing development in the method. In this symposium, we look forward to discover how the single particle cryo-EM enabled us to understand atomic structure of ion channels, in a historic context. Moreover, we will explore how ion selectivity can be manifested in a structural manner, namely, how the structure dissects cations from anions, and vice versa. Last but not least, we look into structure-function relationship of gap junction proteins, an essential component of cell-to-cell communication. Through this symposium, we expect to learn pathophysiological characteristics of ion channels in a submolecular level.

Opposite-directional Activity of posterior parietal cortex neurons in erroneous decision-making during delayed match-to-sample task
A brain is operated by millions of parallel, intertwined, and overlapping neural circuits. Neural circuits are built by synaptic connections that not only transfer information from one neuron to the next, but compute it as it is being transferred. The specificity of synaptic connections between neurons and of the diverse properties of these connections define the anatomical and physiological architecture of neural circuits, but how this specificity is achieved is only now beginning to emerge. This symposium will invite four neuroscientists to discuss the recent findings that are relevant to address trending and major questions that are critical for understanding how the structure and function of neural circuits are determined.

Clinical application and vagus nerve stimulation
Ischemic heart conditions are one of the top categories in the world health system accounting for 30% mortality rate worldwide. Common therapeutic approaches including medications or device therapy have been widely used by cardiologists with fairly good outcomes. However, these approaches could not induce remascularization in the ischemic heart region inorder to prevent progression to heart failure. The 21st century has been beginning of a very promising era in the field of medicine as novel therapeutic approaches have been introduced, researched and found its way to the clinics particularly for diseases with no effective treatment. Cell therapy is one of these novel therapeutic approaches that attracted high attention and has been widely experimented for diseases with no efficient cure including ischemic heart conditions. Different modalities of cell therapy have been employed for ischemic heart diseases including multiple cell types, various dosing and delivery systems. Although promising, the results of clinical trials seems to be confounded by inter-trial and inter-patient variability making an accurate conclusion challenging. And exactly for this reason, the recommendation of any cell type or dosing has been missing so far. Furthermore, although the results of mesenchymal stem cell therapy were promising for ischemic heart conditions, but still not relevant enough to be translated and be routinely used in clinics. In parallel to investigate cell therapy, interest in cell products’ therapy of myocardial infarction (MI) has followed due to the potential of such modalities for clinical translation, high replicability and off-the-shelf accessibility. In this symposium, we will discuss in vitro and preclinical studies which were performed by the invited speakers in line with global efforts in this regard.

A Neural Circuit for Comorbid Anxiety Symptoms in Bone Cancer Pain
Despite the remarkable advance in the knowledge of the molecular mechanisms of nociception since the identification of TRPV1 channels, the physiological mechanisms underlying chronic pain, from which more than 20% of the population suffer, remain unsatisfactorily explored, making it a serious global health issue, including the Asian-Oceanian regions. This symposium, composed of 3 male + 2 female young but expert researchers from 5 different FAOPS countries/regions, will present state-of-the-art findings from various standpoints from the free nerve ending plasticity to the nociplastic maladaptation in the hypothalamic-limbic-brainstem networks as well as functional brain imaging in human patients. The two organizers and three speakers are the core members of the “Asian Pain Symposium,” held every 2 years as an international symposium in various Asian countries/regions. Also, one of the organizers and three speakers are regular members of the “International Pain Mechanism Conference” held every 2 years in European countries. The subjects dealt with by the 5 speakers cover broad aspects of the most updated concepts of the physiological mechanisms underlying chronic pain establishment, including “Biophysical and structural plasticity of nociceptive free nerve endings underlying pathological pain” (Binshtol), “Differential roles of paraventricular nucleus in regulating mechanical hypersensitivity and aversion behavior in formalin pain model” (Chen), “Nociplastic pain-associated parabrachial-amygdala neurons and their active role in widespread sensitization” (Takahashi), “Chronic pain and pain-related anxiety and depression” (Xing) and “Personalized functional brain models of chronic pain” (Woo). This symposium is one of the two official proposals from the Physiological Society of Japan. The proposer, Fusao Kato, used to be the vice-president for academic affairs (2012-2018) of the PSJ. He was also the vice-president and treasurer of the FAOPS2019 Congress, Kobe, Japan, indicating that he has been deeply involved in FAOPS activities in his career. All speakers agreed to participate in this symposium if accepted.

Quantitative proteome analysis to discover myelin proteins relevant for a healthy nervous system
Glial cells are crucial players of brain function in health and disease. In particular, they modulate neural circuit activity by modifying synaptic activities and myelin formation to spatiotemporally regulate the neural circuits. In addition, aberrant glial function can cause the initiation and the progression of many neurodegenerative diseases. In this symposium, Xianshu Bai (PI and group leader, University of Saarland, Germany) will present how interneuron and NG2 glia communication during development determines neural circuit and behavior. The presentation of Ko Matsui (Professor at Tohoku University, Japan) will highlight a novel proton-dependent release mechanism of glutamate from astroglia for synapse plasticity in learning and memory. Zhihua Gao (Professor at Zhejiang University, China) will address the dual function of microglial hexokinase 2 for brain function in health and ischemic stroke. Hauke Werner (Team leader at Max-Planck-Institute of multidisciplinary science, Germany) will present their recent findings of oligodendrocyte/myelin in the evolutionary point of view and further address the molecular mechanisms how oligodendrocytes are involved in progressive axonopathy. Four speakers, with diversities in original regions and genders, have been selected based on their recent and exciting achievements demonstrating glial cells as indispensable element for brain function in health and disease. This symposium will provide a novel and comprehensive view how glial cells shape neural circuit and brain function.

This proposed session is to discuss pathophysiological significances of new signaling pathways linked to vascular diseases with experts in the field. Vascular smooth muscle cell is capable of highly adapting to environmental changes by adjusting the robustness of their proliferation and contraction. Abnormal regulation in smooth muscle cells has been linked to the pathologic remodeling and contraction of vasculatures. To fully understand vascular pathophysiology, we must keep exposing elements responsible for dysfunctions of vascular smooth muscle cells. In this session, five experts will discuss their recent discoveries in the vascular pathophysiology field. Dr Kishi is a leading investigator in the vasospasm research, and she will discuss the mechanism of how the vasospasm initiator triggers hyperphosphorylation of myosin and hypercontraction of smooth muscle. Dr Kim is a trailblazer studying pathophysiological gene regulation in vascular smooth muscle, and she will discuss the mechanism regulating angiotensin II signaling under hypertensive conditions. Dr Hirano is an established leader in vascular pathophysiology, and he will discuss new therapeutic targets of pulmonary hypertension based on his recent finding on PAR1 signaling. Dr Bae is a key contributor to understanding vascular inflammation, and he will discuss newly discovered signaling pathways that regulate the phenotypic switch of vascular smooth muscle cells. Dr Yamashiro is a pioneer of the mechanotransduction research in arteries, and he will discuss the mechanisms of how disturbances in Hippo signaling trigger the remodeling of vascular walls. Lines of knowledge and techniques that will be discussed by this group of speakers are expected to inspire the audience beyond the vascular physiology research field.

Involvement of dopamine receptors in therapeutic effects of deep brain stimulation
Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is a therapeutic manner for several brain disorders. Although this method has been used for a long time, its mechanism of action, best pattern of stimulation and suitable brain targets are not completely determined. In this symposium we will present original data from our recent studies that aim to address these issues. Considering the probable role of neuromodulators in DBS action, in a set of experiments we tried to find some documents to show the role of dopamine in DBS actions. The activity of D1-like and D2-like dopaminergic receptors depend on the neural firing rate of brain dopaminergic nuclei such as ventral tegmental area (VTA). The activity of VTA dopaminergic neurons may be managed through applying DBS in VTA. In this symposium we will talk about the therapeutic effects of low-frequency DBS of VTA on seizure and high-frequency DBS of VTA in treatment of Alzheimer’s disease. In addition, the effect of both high- and low-frequency DBS of VTA on social memory will be explained. Parallel to dopamine receptors, the role of metabotropic glutamate receptors in mediating the inhibitory effect of low-frequency DBS on epileptiform activities will be also discussed in the symposium. Next, we will demonstrate our recent research on an alternative approach, which involves using Magnetoelectric Nanoparticles (MENPs) that wirelessly transmit electrical signals to the brain in response to an external magnetic field. Importantly, this mechanism of modulation requires no genetic modification of neural tissue and allows animals to freely move during stimulation. Using these nanoelectrodes, we show neuronal modulation in vitro and in deep brain targets in vivo. We also show that local thalamic modulation promotes modulation in other regions connected via basal ganglia circuitry, leading to behavioral changes in mice.

Acquisition of large volume EM data set and AI assisted image process
We have made significant improvement in serial electron microscopy (EM) technique in this decade. New EM technologies, combined with cutting edge light microscopy, gives new insights into neural microcircuit structure and dynamics. In this symposium, we would like to introduce the new EM technologies including high throughput and large volume EM imaging, image analysis of serial electron micrographs, and AI-assisted deep learning automated segmentation for large volume EM data sets. We describe a few examples regarding functional spine dynamics using combined two-photon microscopy, serial EM reconstruction which observed the mouse primary motor cortex during a motor learning task, and block-face EM reconstruction that revealed a new circuit that may help the synaptic plasticity in the cerebellum. We hope the symposium will give you some idea how to analyze brain structure and function in neuroscience research with the cutting edge EM technologies.

Intrinsic plasticity of Purkinje cell serves homeostatic regulation of fear memory
The cerebellum compares motor command information with sensory information following movement to calculate motor errors and sends the results to the cerebrum to contribute to error-free motor performance. Here, we would like to cover the latest research results on non-motor physiological functions of the cerebellum, where recent research is accelerating beyond the research on the motor function of the cerebellum. We will address the physiological mechanisms by which the cerebellum contributes to non-motor mental activities such as emotion, cognition, and perception.

Physiological effects of the New Nordic diet on high cardiovascular disease-risk adults
"Among all Non-communicable Diseases (NCD), Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is one of the leading cause of disease burden globally, demonstrating an alarmingly high rate. Moreover, over the past few years, the global epidemiological CVD landscape has changed dramatically, with unhealthy diet becoming an increasingly important modifiable factor for the development of CVD causes.
Nutrition-based lifestyle interventions have been recommended as a primary and secondary prevention strategy for NCDs and for CVD in particular, for all high-risk populations (e.g., those who are obese, physically inactive, smoking, consuming unhealthy diets or excessive amounts of alcohol etc). Traditional regional diets are considered as sustainable dietary patterns, while many have been examined with regard to their health benefits. The aim of the proposed symposiu will be to aggregate all evidence on the physiological effects of a series of regional diets among adults at high risk for cardiovascular disease." -

Advanced Stem Cell Models of diseased and healthy muscles for safety and efficacy screening
The implementation of the ICH S7B and E14 in 2005 has been successfully prevented the introduction of
potential arrhythmic drugs to the market. However, it has focused only on hERG block and in vivo QT
prolongation as essential determinants of arrhythmia risk. The Comprehensive In vitro Proarrhythmia Assay (CiPA) initiative was begun in 2013, thereafter, an international multi-disciplinary team of regulatory, industry and academic scientists has been working together to develop in vitro human relevant platform as a proarrhythmic model to explore the activities of ion channels other than the rapidly activating potassium channel. As a result, the new ICH E14/S7B Q&A was recently adopted, and it includes the best practice considerations for in vitro studies to address the different aspects of cardiomyocyte repolarization against the investigational drugs. This symposium will highlight new and relevant in vitro platforms for evaluating cardiac safety of drugs beyond the hERG assay and in vivo QT prolongation. -
