The Norman Prince Neurosciences Institute: Linking Research to Clinical Care

摘要

Over the past 50 years the expansion and advances in neuro- science have been astonishing. The Society for Neuroscience illustrates this growth. It is the world's largest organization of scientists and physicians devoted to understanding the brain and nervous system. In 1969 it had 500 members. To- day it has almost 42,000 and its annual meeting attracts over 30,000 researchers. This tremendous growth in research has led to discoveries that have fundamentally changed our understanding of the nervous system.
