About CNS

The Center for Neurologic Study Website is designed to present our current activities on the Internet. CNS is a non profit organization dedicated to research and treatment of neurological diseases. The Center was founded in 1979 with the intent of helping patients and families who have been affected by presently incurable neurologic disease. To accomplish this, the Center focused on experimental treatment and patient/family support and education. Along with others CNS was instrumental in the development of Interferon as a treatment modality. Over the years, the CNS has collaborated with Biotech companies in an effort to develop cutting edge therapies for neurologic disorders, including the use of ciliary neurotrophic and brain derived neurotrophic factors, superoxide dismutase, protropin, T cell peptide and so forth. The seminal discovery of DMQ at CNS has resulted in the award of 5 U.S. Patents. This drug combination is under development for the treatment of emotionality and chronic pain, in part, supported by a grant from the National Institute of Health.

Our website is the latest in a long standing effort to provide patient/family education and support. Beginning in 1979, CNS sponsored one of the first neurologic-based educational programs. This effort continues in the belief that information is as important to patient well being as nutrition and medication. For a number of reasons, it is our hope to disseminate all of our educational materials via the web but a hard copy can be sent for those who need it. At some point, we anticipate being able to bring our support group & lectures into peoples living rooms, possibly in an interactive mode. But for the moment it is necessary to visit us in person or order a video. Soon we will attempt to place our videos on the internet. A test run is in the works.

It is our hope that you will join our virtual community, partnering with us to advance the cause of neurologic research and treatment.
