"The Neuroscience Institute at MUSC offers an unprecedented opportunity to foster research across traditional departmental boundaries. The dramatic medical advances of the 21st century will come from a higher level of collaboration between disciplines. After a productive decade of research, we are now ready to apply much of our new knowledge to patient care and to further expand the neuroscience frontier."
