Core Tip
Core tip: The society of knowledge has expanded with information produced all over the world. But unfortunately, only a small part of such knowledge has had an impact on decision-making pertaining health, and on the ability to solve specific problems in a given population. Translational Neurosciences represent an innovative proposal for a direct line between basic research, applied research, technology transfer and knowledge management for the resolution of a specific problem in the neurological sciences, either in diagnosis, therapy, rehabilitation or social integration. This design requires commitment with education and training of human resources in Neurosciences from a proactive and innovative viewpoint.
