President’s Welcome

On behalf of the Irish Institute of Clinical Neuroscience I am delighted to welcome you to the 56th Annual Irish Neurological Association Meeting. The meeting promotes high quality clinical and laboratory research in Neurosciences and we welcome submissions from all areas of clinical neuroscience. The meeting also provides an opportunity to forge new contacts and strengthen existing ties with colleagues in the clinical neurosciences. We are honoured this year to welcome a true giant in the field of research, Professor Stanley Fahn, who was centrally involved in the invention and origin of levodopa replacement therapy for Parkinson’s disease. The Nobel Prizewinners who brought hope into being in this field of Movement Disorder inspired a generation of researchers to strive to find answers and therapies for patients.

– Professor Tim Lynch
