Many studies are Investigator-Initiated, or designed by our outstanding physicians. From observing their patients, these physicians pose important questions to investigate the difficult questions of neurological disorders. Other studies receive funding and support from pharmaceutical industries, private foundations, private donors, and government agencies such as the National Institute of Health (NIH).
