Abstract

A conference was held in Magdeburg, Germany on March 46 where experts discussed current research in neurotraumatology and neurop-sychological rehabilitation. A total of about 60 research projects of a nationwide program project funded by the German Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) were presented in conjunction with projects from the BMBF-initiative program Neuropathology of the Otto-v.-Guericke University of Magdeburg and the Graduate Program in Neuroscience which were funded by the German Research Society (DFG) and the State of Sachsen-Anhalt. The scientific program ranges from molecular, cell biological, anatomical, physiological and behavioral analyses of secondary cell death, regeneration and plasticity to clinical outcome studies and epidemiological evaluations. As such, the conference provides a broad overview of German neuroscience in the areas of neurotrauma, rehabilitation and brain plasticity. The abstracts are part of a special issue of Restorative Neurology and Neuroscience on Neurotrauma and Neuropsychological Rehabilitation which was published on the occasion of the conference.
