The most outstanding achievement of the Decade of the Brain was awarding Stanley B. Prusiner, MD, the 1997 Nobel Prize for his work on prions. As to what specific areas of research in the neurosciences should be of priority, in my opinion, they are the following:

1. Epidemiology of neurological diseases (information is the mother of intuition)
   
2. Genetics of neurological diseases in general, not only neurohereditary diseases
   
3. Creation of adequate experimental models of different neurological diseases
   
4. Pathophysiology and the treatment of brain edema
   
5. Problems of demyelination, remyelination, and axonal degeneration
   
6. Transplantation and implantation of neural tissue
   
7. Neural growth factors
   
8. Brain electrogenesis
   
9. Human memory and its abnormalities
   
10. Creation of modern guidelines and classifications for the main neurological diseases
    
11. Creation of new groups of neuroprotective drugs for stroke, migraine, epilepsy, etc
