Over the last decade, the considerable progress made in
biochemistry, molecular biology, genetics and neuropharmacology has
revealed some ofthe intimate mechanisms ofthe neurodegenerative
disorders. There is increasing evidence linking genetic defects
affecting mitochondria to Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease,
amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, Huntington's disease and some other
neurological disorders. Advances in knowledge are fueled through
improved animal models that use mitochondrial toxins, excitotoxins,
and transgenic animals. Therapeutic studies in these models have
strengthened the possibility for effective treatments in man. By
defining the pathomechanisms, we hope to be in the position to
prevent cell death by protecting neurons. Indeed serious
preclinical and clinical research is going on in the field of
neuroprotection in stroke, Parkinson's disease, epilepsy,
demyelinating disorders and dementia. Based on these scientific
ideas, the Symposium in honour of Professor Abel Lajtha was
organized by the European Society for
ClinicalNeuropharmacology(ESCNP) and the Danube Symposium for
Neurological Sciences in Budapest, Hungary, October 24-25, 2002.
Professor Lajtha was born in Budapest in 1922 and his home town is
an ideal venue for strengthening the bonds between Western and
Eastern European Neuroscientists. Professor Peter Riederer
(Wurzburg) held the 2002 special "Dezso Miskolczy Memorial Lecture"
in Abel Lajtha's Honour. Thanks are due to the invited
speakersofthis Symposium for their excellentcontribution. Laszlo
