Abstract
In spite of all the advances in neurology, particularly in the last decade of the twentieth century (Decade of the Brain), there are serious deficiencies in our understanding of the pathomechanism of several neurological disorders as well as our ability to diagnose and treat these disorders. Novel biomarker identification for neurological disorders will address the current shortcomings in their diagnosis and therapeutics.
