Dear friends and colleagues,

It is our special honor and sincere pleasure to invite you and your colleagues again on behalf of the Organizing Committee to the Eight Rijeka Forum of Neurodegenerative Diseases<\/strong> (September 16-17, 2024)<\/strong> organized by the Clinic of Neurology UHC Rijeka, Department of Neurology, Faculty of Medicine, University of Rijeka and the Department of Biomedical Sciences in Rijeka of the Croatian Academy of Sciences and Arts<\/strong>. Our goal is to present the latest developments and dilemmas in the field of neurodegenerative diseases with a special focus this year on the regulation of gene expression in neurological
disease and neuroimmunology<\/strong>; and other news in neurodegenerative diseases, to improve our daily practical and scientific work. We hope you will enjoy the news in this important area of neurology and neuroscience.
We sincerely hope that you will join us and recommend this meeting to your colleagues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
