The goal of this symposium is to shed light on cross-interaction of neuro-immune axis in autoimmune diseases of the CNS. The presenters will revisit neuro-immune axis including neurons, glia and immune cells, implicate the communication of these cells, and discuss the new concept of neurological disorders of the CNS including multiple sclerosis, neuromyelitis optica, atopic myelitis and other neurodegenerative disorders.
