The impetus for the present volume was provided by a European conference held at St. Martens Latem (Belgium) in September 1994 and sponsered by the Directorate General XII (Science, Research and Development) of the European Commission. Preparation of the volume was also financially supported by the Direc- torate General. The editor, the contributors and all the participants in the conference are grateful to the European Commission for the generous help received. vii CONTRIBUTORS Hennann ACKERMANN, Department of Neurology, University of Ttibingen, 3 Hoppe- Seyler-StraBe, 72076 Tiibingen (Gennany).
