2012 Meeting of the International Society of Hydrocephalus and CSF Disorders

The 2012 meeting of the International Society of Hydrocephalus and CSF Disorders (ISHCSF) will be held in Kyoto, Japan from October 19 to 22, 2012 (Hydrocephalus 2012, Kyoto).

This meeting will present the latest advances in the clinical care of and research in hydrocephalus and CSF disorders. Through this meeting, we expect to accomplish the ISHCSF mission of pursuing both clinical and basic research of CSF circulation and its related disorders and thereby promoting the best possible care for patients with these disorders.

There has been nearly a hundred-year of CSF research history since the pioneering work of Harvey Cushing. Research has produced many achievements in this field, but unsolved problems remain and challenge us to take the next step toward solving them.

Of course, another purpose of this meeting is to give all participants the opportunity to communicate, discuss freely, and share their recent progress in this field. We warmly welcome all participants and their families from all over the world.

A comprehensive multidisciplinary Congress devoted to a wide spectrum of experimental and non-experimental Neuroepidemiolgy.

The groundbreaking series of the ICNE Congresses provide a unique platform to bring together scientists and experts in all major fields of experimental and non-experimental neuroepidemiology. The Congress will feature internationally recognized invited speakers, platform lectures, oral presentations and poster sessions, and will provide an ideal platform for continuing education.

Main Topics

The main purpose of the 2nd ICNE is to advance knowledge and bridge the gap between epidemiological, clinical and basic/translational neuroscience to reduce the burden of neurological disorders in the world.

The congress has already been endorsed by the World Federation of Neurology, World Stroke Organization and World Federation for NeuroRehabilitation, and the main topics of the congress include:

diagnosis, treatment and prevention of neurological diseases;
epidemiology of neurological diseases;
health service delivery, health policy and health economics;
translational neuroscience;
improving outcomes for people with neurological disease.

This congress will provide an excellent opportunity for neurologists, neurosurgeons, researchers, neuropsychologists, rehabilitation specialists, geriatricians, nurses, aged care specialists, allied staff and health care providers working in the area of neurological disorders to share their new ideas, and research findings and experience.
