At the Palace Casino in early October was held the Congress of the "Italian League for the fight against Parkinson's disease, dementia and extrapyramidal syndromes." The program of four days, with plenary sessions and training courses, has tried to provide not only a scientific update in areas such as imaging, cognitive and pharmacological therapies, but also to help shape future developments in surgery and transplantation of cells, modern themes in wich doctors and patients are placing so much hope.
