About Shingles
The National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) conducts and
supports research on brain and nervous system disorders. NINDS is one of the more than two dozen
research institutes and centers that comprise the National Institutes of Health (NIH). NINDS has occupied
a central position in the world of neuroscience for 50 years.
More than 600 disorders afflict the nervous system. Common disorders such as stroke, epilepsy, Parkinson’s disease,
and autism are well-known. Many other neurological disorders are rare-known only to the patients and families affected,
their doctors, and scientists who look to rare disorders for clues to a general understanding of the brain as well as for
treatments for specific diseases. Neurological disorders strike an estimated 50 million Americans each year, exacting an
incalculable personal toll and an annual economic cost of hundreds of billions of dollars in medical expenses and lost
productivity.
The mission of the NINDS is to reduce the burden of neurological disease—a burden borne by every age group, every segment
of society, and people all over the world. To accomplish this goal the NINDS supports and conducts research, both basic and
clinical, on the normal and diseased nervous system, fosters the training of investigators in the basic and clinical neurosciences,
and seeks better understanding, diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of neurological disorders.
