[Em-01] Emerging Session 01
Emerging Asian Neurology Session 01 for Stroke and the Neurosciences

[Em-01-5] Optochemogenetic Stimulation of Transplanted Cells Improves Neuronal Repair after Ischemic Stroke

^○Lin Wei (Emory University, USA)

Asian countries are the emerging area of the world not only in economy and culture, but also neurology and neurosceince. This symposium focuses on several neurology topics especially emerging areas of neurology in the emerging Asian countries. Session 1 will focus on Stroke and the Neurosciences with world famous neuroogists and neuroscientists from Asia and USA. Session 2 will focus on Dementia and stem cell therapy with world famous neuroogists and neuroscientists again from Asia and USA.
