304 EPILOGUE
In the course of the past 53 years of neuroscience research at the
NIH, we have seen the pendulum swing one way, and then another, and
then back to where we began, as we consider an intramural neuroscience
program without institutional boundaries. Neurologists, neurosurgeons,
psychiatrists, neuroscientists, developmental neurobiologists, behavioral
scientists, and other researchers with an interest in how the brain works,
are now working together to advance discoveries in basic, clinical, and
translational research at the NIH. The discoveries they make, and the
treatments that will derive from them, are likely to revolutionize the
practice of medicine in ways we can only begin to imagine.Story C. Landis, Ph.D.
