  1. September 29 – October 1, 2012 Taormina, Italy 2nd Workshop on Synaptic Plasticity: From Bench to Bed Side

  2. WELCOME Dear Colleagues and Friends, we welcome you to the “2nd Workshop on Synaptic Plasticity: from Bench to Bed Side”. The success of the first “Workshop” held in Taormina, Italy on April 2010 and the numerous unresolved issues in our complex field were strong arguments in favor of organizing a second edition of the conference. This meeting attempts to merge people from basic science with neurologists and physiatrists to discuss on the relevance of plasticity in the pathophysiology of several neurological diseases and in particular on Movement Disorders. This is a hot topic in translational clinical neurophysiology research with both basic physiology and therapeutic implications. The Congress Chairpersons Angelo Quartarone and Paolo Girlanda
