''The Road to Conquering Diseases of the Brain'' with Dr. Dale Schenk

Despite major advances in medicine, diseases of the brain continue to plague our society. Fortunately, because of the work of many dedicated scientists, a three decade long effort to conquer diseases such as Multiple Sclerosis, Alzheimer's disease, and Parkinson's disease is beginning to pay off. Dr. Schenk will explore what we know about the brain-often called ''the last frontier of medicine,'' and describe the journey from an idea to the patient's bedside for new innovative treatments.
