Prior to the 9th FENS FORUM of Neuroscience 2014 in Milan (5-8 July) a two-day Satellite Event is organised called “Motor Neuron Diseases: Molecular and Cellular Basis of Selective Vulnerability” (3-4 July).
It is the aim to address the most important issues involving motor neurons, providing participants with updated information that could be useful to researchers in the field of neurodegenerative disorders. For logistic reasons the number of participants is limited to 80. So we encourage everyone to apply in advance if you want to attend this event and be sure of your participation.
Please visit our website or e-mail to triplets@unimi.it if you want more information.
