Hello all. Today I received a packet of articles (for free), some with extensive bibliographies, several "research/scientific", from the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke, part of the National Institutes of Health. I stopped by their booth at the ANA (which is American Neurological Assoc.) convention in SF a few weeks ago. A friendly rep took my request for Parkinson's articles, and she had access to a wealth of info on all kinds of Neur Disord & Stroke, etc. So, you can call them at (800)352-9494 or Write to: NINDS/Office of Scientific and Health Reports Building 31 Room 8A16 31 Center Dr MSC 2540 BETHESDA MD 20892-2540 Telephone: (301)496-5751 or (800)352-9424.
