From neuroscience to neurology : neuroscience, molecular medicine, and the therapeutic transformation of neurology /

The field of neurology is being transformed, from a therapeutically nihilistic discipline with few effective treatments, to a therapeutic specialty which offers new, effective treatments for disorders of the brain and spinal cord. This remarkable transformation has bridged neuroscience, molecular me...
