NRH Neuroscience Research Center

Abstract

The goal of the funded work was to establish the NRH Neuroscience Research Center (NRC) whose mission is to promote and accomplish rehabilitation-related basic and applied neuroscience research. Funding supported the development of research studies in the areas of neurobehavioral and neuromotor assessment, traumatic brain and spinal cord injury, stroke, and Parkinson's disease. Research supported by the USAMRMC occurred in five research areas. They are as follows: a) High Resolution and Neuromotor Assessment; b) Mechanisms Underlying Recovery from Neurological Illness and Injury; c) Treatment of Neurological Diseases and Injury; d) Pilot Projects; and e) Annual Conference and Expert Panel Projects. Funding supported agenda-setting conferences in stroke rehabilitation and neuroprotection. Funding also supported the building of selected infrastructure including space and research databases. One clinician researcher obtained NIH training funds and a second has applied.
