Panel of Nobel Laureates to Discuss 50 Years of Brain Research at the NIH
Christopher Reeve to Address Patients' Perspective

The National Institutes of Health is celebrating 50 years of achievement in
brain research with a two-day scientific symposium that will bring together
the country's leaders in neuroscience and neurology. While the entire
symposium is open to the media, there are two sessions that may be of
particular interest. In one session, Christopher Reeve will discuss the
contribution of brain research toward helping him and other patients with
spinal cord injuries. In the other session, four Nobel Prize winning
neuroscientists will have a panel discussion of how past and current
research has led to a better understanding of the brain and how this will
lead to treatments and cures for neurological diseases.

The symposium, cosponsored by the National Institute of Neurological
Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) and the National Institute of Mental Health
(NIMH) is drawing top researchers, clinicians, and members of patient
advocacy groups from across the country. The full program is available at
www.50brain.org.

Session One: Tuesday October 9, 2001, 3:45 p.m.
Christopher Reeve "My View" A Patient's Perspective

Session Two: Wednesday October 10, 2001, 1 p.m.
Panel of Four Nobel Laureates in the Neurosciences

Paul Greengard, Ph.D. 2000 Nobel Prize Winner in Medicine for his discovery
of the mechanism for synaptic transmission in the central nervous system.

Eric Kandel, M.D. 2000 Nobel Prize Winner in Medicine for his demonstration
of the way nerve cells alter their responsiveness to chemical signals to
produce a coordinated change in behavior
Stanley Prusiner, M.D. 1997 Nobel Prize Winner in Medicine for his
discovery of the link of prions ( protein particles in the brain) to
several neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimer's and mad cow
disease.

"To love is to suffer. To avoid suffering one must not love. But then one
suffers from not loving. Therefore, to love is to suffer; not to love is to
suffer; to suffer is to suffer. To be happy is to love. To be happy, then,
is to suffer, but suffering makes one unhappy. Therefore, to be happy one
must love or love to suffer or suffer from too much happiness. "
Woody Allen
