Jay Salpekar, MD quote

ANPA is one of the few places where people uniformly want to push the envelope of neuroscience in multiple directions, basic science, clinical care, and theoretical approach. It is a professional home for me and for many who have not found a satisfactory wavelength in other organizations.
