Introduction: Welcome to Translational neurobiology of the pain system xxix: forward and backward translation of pain neuroplasticity
Description: This is the twenty-ninth annual international Ph.D. course on the translational neurobiology of the pain system. The purpose of the course is to introduce different aspects of the neurobiology of the pain system and to initiate new co-operation in interdisciplinary pain research. A key challenge in pain research is to translate basic animal findings to relevant clinical scenarios, an vice versa. In fact, this is likely the main problem for the lack of efficient pain treatment. This year the course will focus on pain neuroplasticity and where possible linking preclinical models to experimental and clinical pain manifestations. This includes increased and decreased gain of pain mechanisms (e.g., sensitisation and descending inhibitory control). Various models will be presented such as pain in osteoarthritis and neuropathies. Potential mechanisms may be outlined at various levels of the neuroaxis and psychophysically. The lectures will be given by staff from Center for Neuroplasticity and Pain (CNAP, Aalborg University), and by invited international key scientists within the area.
Course program: Log in to see the program.
Literature: Selected papers and book chapters will be announced to the participants shortly before the course.
Prerequisites: A basic understanding of pain mechanisms, for update see Textbook of Pain, Section 1: Neurobiology of Pain.
Evaluation: The course will end with a multiple-choice evaluation with questions related to all topics of the course.
Poster: Please prepare a poster as a PDF (electronic poster). You are allowed to re-use a poster from a recent conference, etc. The poster is to be presented in plenary in the conference room at the poster session on day I.
Fee: A participation fee will be charged for catering - DKK 600.
Organizer: Professor Thomas Graven-Nielsen, email: tgn@hst.aau.dk
Lecturers: Invited internal and external speakers
ECTS: 1
Time: 27 and 28 November 2024 (08:30-16:00)
Place: Aalborg University, AAU SUND, Selma Lagerløfs Vej 249, 9260 Gistrup, room 14.01.007
Zip code: 9220
City: Aalborg
Number of seats: 25
Deadline: 6 November 2024
Important information concerning PhD courses: We have over some time experienced problems with no-show for both project and general courses. It has now reached a point where we are forced to take action. Therefore, the Doctoral School has decided to introduce a no-show fee of DKK 3.000 for each course where the student does not show up. Cancellations are accepted no later than 2 weeks before start of the course. Registered illness is of course an acceptable reason for not showing up on those days. Furthermore, all courses open for registration approximately four months before start. This can hopefully also provide new students a chance to register for courses during the year. We look forward to your registrations.
