... In addition to continued work on more traditional small molecule drug approaches, individuals and organizations are increasingly working on a host of newer The National Academies of therapeutic strategies, including biologics for the brain, gene therapies, genome Sciences, Engineering, and engineering, and implantable and noninvasive devices. Efforts are also under way Medicine's Forum on to harness emerging technologies and analytical methods, such as artificial Neuroscience and Nervous System intelligence and machine learning focused on "big data." Disorders provides an important The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine's Forum on venue for candid discussions Neuroscience and Nervous System Disorders provides an important venue for about emerging and critical candid discussions about emerging and critical issues among key stakeholders, including federal agencies that serve as research sponsors and regulators; the issues among key stakeholders.

... The Forum will also invite members of the legal community, including federal and state judges, to join its members and other scientists in exploring how emerging neurotechnologies will impact the legal system. In June, the Forum will bring interested individuals together to discuss the Story Landis tremendous promise -- and challenges -- associated with using mobile technology Vice-Chair devices to predict, diagnose, monitor, and develop treatments for brain disorders.

... Enabling Novel Treatments for Nervous System Disorders by Improving Methods for Traversing the Blood–Brain Barrier The blood–brain barrier (BBB) presents a special challenge to the development of therapeutics for many CNS disorders.

... The Forum hosted a public workshop including key experts from academia, government, the biotechnology and pharmaceutical sector, disease-focused organizations, and other interested stakeholders to explore the current development of novel methods for traversing the BBB to deliver therapeutics for nervous system disorders and to identify potential opportunities for moving the field forward. Success in these endeavors Advancing Therapeutic Development for Pain and Opioid Use would greatly increase the Disorders Through Public–Private Partnerships armamentarium of potential Pain is a leading cause of disability in the United States, affecting more people than drugs for treating psychiatric cancer, diabetes, and heart disease combined.

... To begin to explore the potential impact of emerging neurotechnologies on the legal system, the Forum, in collaboration with the National Academies' Committee on Science, Technology, and Law, will host a public workshop, bringing together leaders from academia, judicial and law enforcement systems, industry, government and regulatory agencies, nonprofit foundations and other stakeholders to advance efforts to identify and evaluate the potential positive and negative effects of emerging neurotechnologies on the legal system.

... Transgenic and Chimeric Neuroscience Research: Exploring the Scientific Opportunities Afforded by New Nonhuman Primate Models The translational disconnect from preclinical studies with predominantly rodent animal models to human clinical trials remains a key challenge associated with the lagging development of therapies for brain disorders. Since 2012, the Forum has hosted a series of workshops examining different aspects of this challenge, including maximizing the translation of effective therapies from animal models to clinical practice and exploring the evidence needed to bring compounds that appear to be safe into human efficacy trials.

... Clinical Research Data Sharing The Forum is participating in a clinical research data sharing activity that is a collaboration across four National Academies forums that focus on neuroscience; drug discovery, development, and translation; genomics; and cancer. Building on the 2015 report published by the Institute of Medicine, Sharing Clinical Trial Data: Maximizing Benefits, Minimizing Risk, the group's goals are to improve coordination and collaboration among stakeholders engaged in activities related to data sharing The Forum established a working and to support implementation efforts by creating a mechanism for collaborative participants to identify priority issues and organize activities.

... Using tools set forth by the World Health Organization, the Forum, in collaboration with global entities, is continuing to explore additional opportunities to contribute in this area, with a focus on maternal and child mental and neurological health.
