International Conference on Neurological Disorders and Neurorestoration is a unique international meeting that covers all major areas of neurology, neuroscience and neurorestation: neuroinflammation, neurodegeneration, ischemic diseases, paroxysmal and extrapyramidal diseases. The special emphasis of the Conference is on the current options of tissue and functional restoration (neurorestoration). The uniqueness of the Conference is reflected as well in the fact that, for the first time, the main organizer, University of Zagreb School of Medicine is supported by all the Clinics for Neurology of the Zagreb Clinical and Hospital Centers. We are also proud that around one third of lectures will be delivered by speakers coming from the most eminent world centers, from Europe, the USA and Asia. An additional specialty of the Conference is the satellite symposium organized by the European Brain Council, European umbrella organization in brain disease research. The Conference is as well supported by the Croatian Medical Journal, with a special thematic number which will be issued on this occasion. Welcome!
