To any subscriber in the So. Calif. area: Just wanted to let you know that the Neurosciences Institute will be having a symposium on Nov. 2 -3 in Rancho Mirage (near Palm Springs). The first day is the Movement Disorder day and the speakers/topics are: Clinical Pathophysiology of Basal Ganglia - Dr. Marianne Olds, Neurotransplantation for Parkinson's Disease and Huntington's Disease; Dr. Oleg Kopyov; Stimulator Implants for PD and Results of 5 year Study on Sinemet CR - Dr. William Koller; Clinical follow-up of Post-Pallidotomy and Neurotransplantation Patients - Dr. Janet Chance Recent Advances in Pharmacology for Parkinson's Disease - Dr. Mathias Kurth Lifestyles & Symptoms Management for Parkinson's Patients - Dr. Mark Stacy GDNF in Treatment of Parkinson's Disease - Dr. Dana Hilt In Vivo and Ex Vivo Gene Therapy for Parkinson's Disease. This program is designed primarily for medical professionals - but each year we open it to "lay people" also because I know that they are often very knowledgeable about these topics. The fee is $30 per person and includes lunch. There will be a panel Q & A session also - to clarify areas of confusion. If anyone is interested in attending or would like me to send them a registration form - either e-mail me at [log in to unmask] or call me at 800-841-8765. Thanks, Carole
