also, idea

was thinking that it might be neat to set up a Neuro Nobel Roundtable to discuss some ideas i think we should invite:

Ideas people:

1. Neuroinflammation and the role of the autonomic nervous system - the guy in manhasset who did the vagal stimulator stuff, and one other person

2. Emerging neurologic disease - the 2 guys who study receptor antibody disease (NMDA receptor antibody disease) and maybe Jerry Posner who does paraneoplastic antibody disease. (one is cancer the other isn't)

Panel for discussion people:

1. you and me

2. gerry edelman

3. linda buck +/- axel

4. paul greengard

5. cary mullis

We could talk to Nathan and see if he wants to host it at ISF here in Seattle and you could come visit? That would be super cool and I bet we could get billg and boris to join that way.

I suspect it would cost plane tickets for all of these folks plus an honorarium. $10K honorarium plus $2000 plane for each.

The topic would be Inflammation and Immune Dysfunction in the Nervous System. It would be the first COUQie Nobel Round Table.
