在追求神经科学的这一方面时，您致力于将研究发现转化为临床应用，帮助开发新的疗法来治疗退行性，发育性，精神病性和其他疾病。神经科学的这一方面着重于将研究发现转化为临床相关应用以及开发新的疾病诊断方法和治疗方法。从业人员测试新的治疗方法和药物，以改善患者的预后。学员将学习如何将研究成果从实验室工作台一直延伸到人体床旁，然后在临床实践中广泛采用。他们还利用临床实践为基础实验室科学提供信息。各个专业领域（精神病学，神经外科，放射学等）的临床神经科学家确定了神经病理学的机制，并开发了为患者提供护理的治疗方法。他们考
When pursuing this dimension of neuroscience, you work on translating research discoveries into clinical applications, helping develop new therapies to treat degenerative, developmental, psychiatric, and other disorders. This dimension of neuroscience focuses on the translation of research discoveries into clinically relevant applications and the development of new diagnostic methods and treatments for disorders. Practitioners test new treatments and drugs in the effort to improve patient outcomes. Trainees learn how to translate research somewhere along a continuum from the laboratory bench to the human bedside to widespread adoption in clinical practice. They also use clinical practice to inform basic laboratory science. Clinical neuroscientists in various specialties (psychiatry, neurosurgery, radiology, and others) identify mechanisms of neuropathology and develop therapeutic approaches to provide care to patients. They consider how basic neuroscience findings relate to disease states, test theories about disease progression, and develop strategies for treatment.
