AAN Meeting to Announce Progress
in ALS, MD Research

If you’re a neurologist, you’re probably finalizing plans to attend the 55th annual meeting of the American Academy of Neurology (AAN), a cutting-edge forum on topics from migraine to motor neuron disease.

If you’re not a neurologist, don’t worry. MDA staff will be at the meeting to cover the latest research news for you.

This year, the AAN meeting will be held in Honolulu from March 29 to April 5. More than 1,000 presentations are planned, many of them describing advances in research on amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and the muscular dystrophies.

On April 2, the AAN Foundation will honor MDA National Chairman Jerry Lewis with the 2003 Public Leadership in Neurology Award.
