The nervous system is comprised of the brain, spinal cord and nerves. Together they control all the workings of the body. When something goes wrong with a part of  the nervous system, one can  experience difficulties  with movement,  speech, swallowing, breathing or learning. Problems may also develop that affect memory, senses or mood.

Four decades of intense research and development efforts have failed to yield any effective interventions for neuronal diseases. The lack of success in the search for a drug or treatment to improve the devastating symptoms of these chronic neuronal diseases has been one of modern medicine’s greatest frustrations, with a 99.5% failure rate. This contrasts with an approximate  20% success rate for cancer drug research.
