ABSTRACT

Contemporary* neuroscience has achieved considerable progress in both research and the translation of research techniques, outcomes, and knowledge to clinical medicine. As noted throughout this book, and elsewhere, such advancements hold signišcant promise for novel uses of existing techniques and technologies as well as for the employment of new approaches in the prevention, treatment, and rehabilitation or management of previously intractable neurological diseases and injury. Such possibilities have been further augmented by the conjoinment of genetic, nanoscale, and computational technologies in neuroscientišc applications (e.g., Chapter 2, this volume).
