3TH ISN Special Neurochemistry Conference.

Beijing, China 27th June - 1st July 2008

This meeting is the third in a series of Special Neurochemistry Conferences, the first one being held in Avignon, France in 2004 and the second in Antigua, West Indies in 2006. The third meeting entitled "Neurodegeneration and Regeneration", continues the cycle and is located in the Asia-Pacific region. This conference continues a sequence of Meetings and is in fact the 8th International Meeting for Brain Energy Metabolism.
