Silver Book Fact
Current research supported by the National Institute of Neurological Disease Orders and Stroke (NINDS) at NIH is using animal models to study progression of the disease and develop new drugs therapies; looking for the cause of the disease and continuing to search for environmental and genetic factors; and working to develop new protective drugs that can delay, reverse, or even prevent the disease.
