Viernes 16 de marzo de 2007: Simposium sobre Cambios Neuroendocrinológicos en la enfermedad de Huntington en Leiden, Países Bajos.

Organizadores
El EHDN y la Fundación High-Q


Objetivos
- To arrange an opportunity for a broader group of scientists and clinicians working with Huntington’s disease in Europe and that are interested in hypothalamus and neuroendocrine factors, to meet and hear the current research from world-leading experts.
- To stimulate new ideas on how to view HD and inspire clinicians to investigate less studied aspects of HD such as sleep disturbances, psychiatric symptoms, weight loss, changes in circadian rhythm etc.
- To identify novel potential mediators of the pathogenesis in HD, which will lead to new projects that would not have been initiated otherwise.

Inscripción
Registration is possible via email to Åsa Petersen and Marie-Noëlle Witjes-Ané. There is no fee. Participants (aside from the invited speakers) are kindly asked to cover their expenses for travel and accomodation out of their own pockets.
