Clinical Neuroscience   Clinically oriented studies range from the study of the cellular and   molecular mechanisms that underlie the neuronal response to injury to   the analysis of the complex systems in the brain that are responsible for   movement, sensation and language. While some laboratories work   directly on particular neural diseases, such as Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s,   Charcot- Marie-Tooth and Leber congenital amaurosis, others study more   general topics with clinical relevance, such as the biochemical and cellular   mechanisms associated with neural trauma and spinal cord injury. By   meshing basic and clinical research, we achieve the best of both worlds   improving both our understanding of the fundamental mechanisms of   neural function in the normal and diseased nervous system.
