The rapid growth of scientific knowledge in the field of neurology is both tremendously exciting and thoroughly challenging. Investigation of the human body's last great frontier has never before been so well prepared with powerful new tools and gifted intellects, nor has the potential for dissemination of the new information via the internet been so promising. It is of utmost importance, therefore, for the premier neurologic society to provide online access to new information in a well synthesized and timely manner. This is the mission of the Science section of AAN.com.

With frequent research alerts from a wide range of publications and semi-weekly Science Reviews by leaders in their fields, the science of neurology will soon be available on AAN members' computer desktops. Discussion of major randomized clinical trials in neurology-whether completed or underway-will be an important focus. AAN.com will provide information about research funding, serve as a resource for young neurologists who are beginning their research careers, and function as a conduit for the AAN Science Committee to communicate with the AAN membership.

We hope that you will find this site an indispensable resource for the application of scientific knowledge to your practice and research.
