On behalf of the Local Organizing Committee, we are very proud to host the 23rd World Congress of Neurology 2017 in Kyoto. We welcome all of you from every part of the world.
Founded originally in 1902, the Japanese Society of Neurology (JSN) has evolved into a large society with 8,579 members. Initially a combined neurology and psychiatry association, the current JSN separated in 1959 and continued to flourish ever since. It was the 12th WCN meeting held at Kyoto in 1981 that greatly contributed to the development of JSN and Asian and Oce​anian Association of Neurology (AOAN). Therefore, WCN 2017 which is being held at the very same venue would be a very historic meeting which will again serve as a springboard to strongly advance the Asia Initiative of WFN for world‐wide advancement of neurology in both scientific and clinical aspects, thus “Defining the Future of Neurology”.
