| Translational Research and Drug Discovery for Neurodegeneration: Challenges for Latin America | Editorial Extract::
"There is ample evidence of Latin America's contribution to neuroscience research. Still, across countries, there is also a need for more funding, mainly to attract talent, prevent “brain drain,” and improve infrastructure, each of which is essential to facilitating regional networks, interdisciplinary groups, and overall productivity in terms of publications and patents. It is time to consolidate a consortium for neuroscience research in Latin America, which should include as many countries as possible and actively support scientifically less productive countries under the premise that knowledge has no boundaries. "A team of neuroscientists from various Latin American countries came together to consolidate the recent advances in brain research in this special issue. The topics covered include biomarkers in aging and age-related diseases, novel molecules as neuroprotectants, cohort studies of cognition in Hispanic populations, novel proteins and pathways in neurodegeneration, as well as computational neuroscience and alternative animal models for the study of neurodegenerative pathways. Taken together, these studies bring us closer to revealing novel drug targets and therapeutics, and represent significant contributions of neuroscience from Latin America." | K.S.
