Welcome Session: Bridging Neuroscience and Clinical Practice: Translating Neurobiology into Patient Care

The foundation of psychiatric care lies in understanding the neurochemical basis of mental illness. This session will provide an in-depth review of key neurotransmitters—dopamine, serotonin, glutamate, GABA—and their roles in mood disorders, psychosis, and anxiety. Participants will also explore the neurobiological underpinnings of major psychiatric conditions, bridging the gap between theory and clinical application. Learn how emerging research on neural circuits and receptor dynamics is shaping the future of psychiatric treatment.
