  • The National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) is a part of the U.S. National Institutes of Health (NIH). It conducts and funds research on brain and nervous system disorders and has a budget of just over US$1.5 billion. The mission of NINDS is "to reduce the burden of neurological disease—a burden borne by every age group, every segment of society, and people all over the world". NINDS has established two major branches for research: an extramural branch that funds studies outside the NIH, and an intramural branch that funds research inside the NIH. Most of NINDS' budget goes to research extramural research. NINDS' basic science research focuses on studies of the fundamental biology of the brain and nervous system, genetics, neurodegeneration, learning and memory, motor control, brain repair, and synapses. NINDS also funds clinical research related to diseases and disorders of the brain and nervous system, e.g. AIDS, Alzheimer's disease, epilepsy, muscular dystrophy, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's disease, spinal cord injury, stroke, and traumatic brain injury. Established in 1950 by the U. S. Congress as the National Institute of Neurological Diseases and Blindness to help handle the casualties of World War II, NINDS grew along with the NIH. During the 1950s and 1960s, NINDS and the NIH had strong Congressional support and received significant appropriations. However, this funding declined in 1968.
  • Das National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) ist ein US-amerikanisches Institut zu Erforschung von Gehirn- und Nervenerkrankungen. Es hat seinen Sitz in Bethesda im Bundesstaat Maryland. Das National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke gehört zu den mehr als zwei Dutzend Forschungsinstituten, die zusammen die National Institutes of Health bilden. Es wurde 1950 auf Beschluss des US-Kongresses gegründet. Es ist eines der führenden Forschungsinstite im Bereich der Neurowissenschaften. Zu den Hauptforschungsgebieten gehören die neurologischen Folgen von AIDS, der Alzheimer-Krankheit, von Hirntumoren, Entwicklungsstörungen, Epilepsie, Erkrankungen des motorischen Neuron, Muskeldystrophie, Multiple Sklerose, Schmerz, der Parkinson-Krankheit, von Neurodegenerativen Erkrankungen, Schlafstörungen, Verletzungen des Rückenmarks, Schlaganfällen und Hirntraumata. In Bethesda sind über 500 Wissenschaftler innerhalb des NINDS in der klinischen Forschung und der Grundlagenforschung tätig. Direktor des Institutes ist Story C. Landis.
