The National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) Director welcomes thousands of neuroscientists to Washington, D.C. for the annual Society for Neuroscience meeting, highlighting the latest research advances, collaboration opportunities, and the vital role of the research community in advancing neuroscience.
NINDS highlights ongoing efforts to accelerate research on Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias, focusing on understanding disease mechanisms and advancing treatments through increased funding and collaboration.
NINDS and the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) released the final 2017 Strategic Plan for Cerebral Palsy Research.
