Spinal cord and brain injuries are hallmarked by long-lasting inflammatory changes, which are thought to negatively interfere with recovery and may also predispose affected individuals to other neurological conditions. This symposium, sponsored by SpinalCure Australia, will bring together both emerging and established leaders in the field of neurotrauma research from across the world to discuss the latest insights into (neuro-) inflammation and immune function after spinal cord and brain injury.
