Comprehensive Neurosciences Center
The challenge of the Comprehensive Neurosciences Center is to embrace research, education and patient care when dealing with the most complex organ: the human brain.
For example, researchers studying Parkinson's disease range from cell biologists and geneticists who examine how unfolded proteins accumulate to epidemiologists who uncover the effects of diet and pesticides to surgeons and neurologists who care for patients directly with techniques such as deep brain stimulation.
A similar task faces doctors studying puzzling conditions such as Alzheimer's disease and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (Lou Gehrig's Disease).
