A Multidisciplinary Approach to Myelin Diseases II

Scientists from a broad range of disciplines met in Rome in March 1994 to share their findings and thought on the generalized group of demyelinating diseases multiple sclerosis, leukodystrophies, and encephalomyelitis from both experimental and clinical perspectives. The 27 papers discuss myelin gen
