Clinical Neuroscience and Neurodegeneration Study Section [CNN]

[CNN Membership Roster] [CNN Meeting Rosters]


The Clinical Neuroscience and Neurodegeneration [CNN] Study Section addresses chronic and neurodegenerative diseases. Emphasis is on the neural substrate, functional consequences and the development of therapeutic strategies for chronic/neurodegenerative disorders. This Study Section primarily considers patient-oriented research but also clinically oriented research using animal models. Specific areas covered by CNN:

  • Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias.
  • Parkinson’s disease and other movement disorders (Huntington’s, Dystonias, Ataxias).
  • Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) and related motor neuron disorders.
  • Neuroimaging, functional, biochemical,  and neuropathological studies to assess the onset, progression, treatment, and development of biomarkers for brain disorders.
  • Changes in learning, memory, language, attention, behavior, and other functional domains that are consequences of disease.
  • Cellular, anatomical, and systems-based studies of changes in the neural substrate and function of brain in response to disease.

Study sections with most closely related areas of similar science listed in rank order are:

Acute Neural Injury and Epilepsy [ANIE]
Cell Death in Neurodegeneration [CDIN]
Medical Imaging [MEDI]
Cognition and Perception [CP]
