How to treat patients with for example Alzheimer, Multiple Sclerose (MS), Parkinson’s, autism, ADHD, learning problems, depressions or Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD)? We aim to broaden the knowledge of the human brain and nervous system, and to translate this into effective therapies and treatments for the individual patient. Knowledge will allow early diagnosis and prevention of disorders and guide treatments and clinical trials.
