Dr Akash Gautam has been an Assistant Professor at the Centre for Neural and Cognitive Sciences, School of Medical Science, University of Hyderabad, India, since 2013. He also served as the guest editor for a special issue in Frontiers in Aging Neuroscience. His research interest is in Neuroscience with a specialization in the neurobiology of learning and memory, molecular mechanisms of neurodegenerative disorders, synthesis of nanoformulations and herbal therapeutics for neurological disorders. He has been conferred travel awards from national and international agencies. He has attended several workshops/training programs and presented his work in >40 conferences/seminars at both national and international levels. He has received several research grants and currently heads the molecular neurobiology laboratory at the University of Hyderabad. He has been a referee for many international journals, including Archives of physiology and biochemistry, Brain research bulletin, Frontiers in ageing neuroscience, Molecular Psychiatry, Materials Today, Neurobiology of stress and Pharmacological Reports. He has more than ten years of teaching experience in Cognitive Science, Biochemistry, Research methodology & Statistics, and Molecular neuroscience. He has also published 20 research articles in the peer-reviewed international journal, two books from Springer Nature and more than 40 book chapters. He is a member of many international scientific societies and organizations. Professor Micaela Morelli is a professor of pharmacology. She joined the Center of Excellence on Neurobiology of Dependence in 2001. She became the Italian representative for the International Brain Research Organization (IBRO) in 2005 and was appointed the councilor of IBRO Western Europe Regional Committee in 2010.She has dedicated her research interests to the study of drugs active in the central nervous system and particularly to drugs for the treatment of Parkinson’s disease.These studies have evidenced that blockade of adenosine A2A receptors play a positive role in the symptomatic treatment of Parkinson’s disease. Behavioral studies on this topic have been correlated to specific modifications in zif-268, A2A receptors, dynorphin, enkephalin and GAD67 mRNA in the striatum. Moreover the neuroprotective and anti-inflammatory effects of A2A receptor antagonists have been evidenced in MPTP-treated pre-clinical models. These studies have resulted in clinical trials on A2A receptor antagonists in Parkinson’s patients.
