During the past year the ASNR has been steadily advancing its mission: “1) to promote the medical and social well being of persons with disabling neurological disorders; 2) to advance training and research in the basic and clinical sciences that can lead to functional recovery of neurologically impaired persons; and 3) to disseminate the knowledge of this research among professionals and the general public.”
We are deliberately growing the transdisciplinary composition of our Board of Directors, our Committees and our General Membership to express the breadth of skills and interests relevant for remediation of neurologic impairments. It is hoped that this cross-fertilization will speed the dissemination of new insights and developments from one discipline to another.
The ASNR’s grounding in the neurosciences is an opportunity to bring research from the bench to the bedside. The ASNR is actively searching for new developments in Neuropsychiatry, Neurobehavior, Neurophysiology, Neuropharmacology, Molecular Neurobiology, Functional Neuroimaging, and other neuroscience research areas relevant for neurorehabilitation. The results of these efforts are best demonstrated both by the success of our journal, Neurorehabilitation and Neural Repair Edited by Bruce Dobkin, and the Scientific Program for our Annual Meeting developed collaboratively by George Wittenberg and Tamara Bushnick , program director for the ACRM.
