International Working Group on Neurotransmitter Related Disorders
International Working Group on Neurotransmitter Related Disorders (iNTD) is a global network of clinicians, researchers, and healthcare professionals dedicated to improving the understanding, diagnosis, and treatment of neurotransmitter related disorders. These disorders are a group of rare, often inherited conditions that affect the brain's ability to communicate through chemicals known as neurotransmitters.
Overview[edit | edit source]
Neurotransmitter related disorders disrupt the normal functioning of neurotransmitters in the brain, leading to a wide range of symptoms including movement disorders, developmental delays, and various neurological symptoms. The International Working Group on Neurotransmitter Related Disorders aims to facilitate collaboration and share knowledge among experts in the field to advance research and improve patient care.
Mission[edit | edit source]
The mission of the iNTD is to:
- Promote international collaboration among scientists and clinicians working on neurotransmitter related disorders.
- Facilitate the sharing of information and resources to accelerate research and improve clinical care.
- Support the development of new diagnostic and therapeutic approaches for these conditions.
- Raise awareness and understanding of neurotransmitter related disorders among healthcare professionals and the public.
Research and Activities[edit | edit source]
