PROGRAM OF SATELLITES

Satellites are organized by the Leiden/Amsterdam/Groningen Biological Rhythm Group and by the NWO Workgroup Neuro-immunology and Neuro-oncology (NONI). The scientific programs of the satellite sessions were made under the full responsibility of the moderators of these groups, and speakers time therefore does not fully match the schedule of the main meeting, nor that the presentations have to be presented in English.
