| | Fiscal Year 2003 Budget Request: National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) |
| | As scientists unravel the complex processes that underlie neurological disorders, ranging from acute stroke to the inexorable chronicity of Parkinson's disease, common themes are emerging, leading to the hope that similar therapeutic and preventive strategies will also apply. | | | The last decade has brought the first treatments for acute stroke and spinal cord injury, new immune therapies that slow the progression of multiple sclerosis, and increased drug and surgical options for treating Parkinson's disease, epilepsy, and chronic pain. | | | Yet researchers are cautiously optimistic that, by recognizing cross-cutting areas of scientific opportunity, while maintaining a continuing focus on the unique aspects of each disease, we are moving toward an era when curing or preventing neurological disorders will become commonplace. |
