1. American Neurological Association

The American Neurological Association is a professional society of academic neurologists and neuroscientists devoted to advancing the goals of academic neurology; to training and educating neurologists and other physicians in the neurologic sciences; and to expanding both our understanding of diseases of the nervous system and our ability to treat them.

Our Goals

1. To disseminate knowledge about the nervous system and its diseases by:

• Presenting new scientific basic and clinical information at an annual meeting
• Publishing a scientific journal
• Formulating and promoting high standards of neurologic practice

2. To promote research into the causes and treatment of diseases of the nervous system by: 

• Attracting promising physicians into academic neurology and supporting their development
• Advocating financial support from government, industry and individuals for research on the nervous system and its disorders

3. To formulate and promote policies and actions which will support the goals of academic neurology by: 

• Providing a unified voice for academic neurology
• Setting guidelines and assuring excellence in programs that train and educate physicians in neurology
• Raising the standard of neurologic training of all physicians

   1. We are a Society that was founded in 1989 and is a non-profit organization geared to disseminating the knowledge of neurosciences amongst the professionals and the public. Our members come from varied disciplines related to the neurosciences namely, neurologists, neurosurgeons, neuropaediatricians, neuropathologists, neuro-anatomists, neuro-pharmacologists, neuro-biochemists, neuro-psychologists and the like. There are also a sizeable number of medical laboratory technologists and nurses from the various neuro-disciplines who are our Associate Members.
      Among other things, the Society is strongly committed towards teaching and the credentialing of our young specialists. We have also formed subspecialty councils to focus and develop their areas of specialty. At present, we have an Epilepsy Subspecialty Council, a Stroke Subspecialty Council and a Chapter of Child Neurology & Developmental Paediatrics. New subspecialty councils will be established as and when necessary.
      We are proud to say that the Society is a member of the World Federation of Neurology (WFN), the ASEAN Neurological Associations (ASNA) and is affiliated to theInternational Brain Research Organization (IBRO).
