Abstract

The Neurological Information Network (NIN) of the National Institute of Neurological and Communicative Disorders and Stroke (NINCDS) was a loosely structured assemblage of a variety of information‐transfer activities that existed for approximately 20 years, starting in the early 1960s. These activities included the Neurosciences Research Program at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, the Parkinson's Disease Information Center at Columbia University, the Vision Information Center at Harvard University, the Brain Information Service at UCLA, the Information Center for Hearing, Speech, and Disorders of Human Communication at the Johns Hopkins Medical Institutions, the Clinical Neurology Information Center at the University of Nebraska, the Cerebrovascular Disease Abstracts generated at the Mayo Foundation and appearing in the journal Stroke, and Epilepsy Abstracts published by Excerpta Medica. The article discusses primarily the sociopolitical factors that govern the creation and life of activities of the type enumerated. © 1987 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
