OUR MISSION
Purpose
The Society brings together researchers and professionals who study, from a physiological perspective, the functions and disorders of the nervous system and muscles, encompassing a broad range from the brain and spinal cord to the peripheral nerves and muscles. By integrating clinical research directly related to human health with basic research aimed at elucidating the functions of the brain, nerves, and muscles, the Society promotes research into the complex systems of the human nervous system.
OUR JOURNEY
