and parkinson's.each other for fund-raising, but the are, and there are some schools of thought that say let's link it together and there's marketing of these things now so as somebody who wants everything to be cured but m.s. is going to be first on your list, how do you come to terms with that? >> it's frozen at about $30 billion, which pays for about 2 1/2 months in afghanistan. it's a very limited pot of munly. all these disease groups, these affinity groups go to washington asking for money. they're not going to give one group money and not give another group money. the only thing they can do is raise the -- you know, to jack up the bill. >> you look at world war i, was scientific researchers -- the way it's reduced heart disease and strokes, yet we're not upping the budget. as you said, $30 billion. at one point, $2 trillion, is not a lot of money. we're at a scary place. >> you realize that the number of people with chronic illnesses, because of the aging baby boomers, has jumped in five years

and he could talk about your dad's battle with parkinson's disease. what do you thing 1/2?>guest: a great tribute to my father. a lot of boxers pay tribute to my dad not only as a boxer but as a person. so tyson respects my dad not ring and, also, as a man. and what he stood for. >>neil: you stand for, trying to eradicate parkinson's disease but you have extended it with mulls -- multiple sclerosis. and if you do not know, i have that disease. if i am in a bad mood it is the disease. it is my disease. i get out of a lot using that excuse. there is a higher diagnosis going on of all of these diseases, and is that because more are aflicked or we have better diagnosis? >>guest: the second. a lot of doctors have misdiagnosed these deeds -- diseases for years. and my dad was misdiagnosed. a lot of people speculated, and, really, he had to be diagnosed with a doctor from new york, here, to finally get the right medication but a lot people and this was in the 80's we had no resources or information be so, it would make sense a lot of doctors in the 19 80's depth d -- didn't think

i'm a member of the parkinson's committee. >> oh, take your time. you don't have to do it in a second. >> caller: okay, great. well, your leadership in increasing federal support for parkinson's research rescued us from the biomedical stone age, and i will be grateful to you every day for the rest of my life. but i also have a question. your leadership in trying to increase understanding of translational research is just as important, or maybe more so, because we can have all the money in the world, but if it's all just been for basic research and never gets to the research that delivers cures, it won't get us anywhere. i'm wondering what the status of that is now. >> well, first of all, thank you for your kind words. on the issue of increasing funding for parkinson's, i did take the lead as chairman of the appropriations subcommittee to raise annual funding from 12 to $30 billion. and then in the stimulus package, i offered the amendment which carried for $10 billion more. so there have been enormous advances made in parkinson's. i've gotten to kno

his life. >> do you think his parkinson's is related to the tez he underwecht at edgewood? >> those substances affect the same region of the brain. tim clearly had adverse -- they gave him such high doses that he ranged from overdose with one substance to the an dote back and forth, and he actually had to get a very powerful antipsychotic drug because he flipped out. >> at what point does an 18-year-old kid think this is for life? what they are doing to me is going to affect my health for the rest of my life? >> things were different then. you believed in your government and wouldn't believe they would give you something to harm you intentionally. >> i tell you, we wanted to talk about the lawsuit with the v.a. and defense department. citing pending litigation, they declined to be interviewed on camera, but did offer this written statement instead. the department of defense said it has made it a priority to identify all service members exposed to chemical and biological substances. the v.a. says they have offered free medical evaluations to thousands of veterans. tim joseph

sin so nuclei in proteins which show up it apparently cause many neurodegenerative diseases like parkinson's and alzheimer's team of researchers led by bassir found that the alpha synuclein proteins are the cause of clumping or aggregation which is the first step in your degenerative diseases according to liesl pettus and associate professor of physics and astronomy at m.s. you the research shows that there are cumin binds to the alpha synuclein proteins and prevents them from clumping at body temperatures. and in another key part of the research that the team conducted was showing how proteins are built a process called folding the team of researchers was able to shed some light unfolding by determining the speed at which proteins fold and their tendency to clump together with other proteins when kirk human attaches to alpha synuclein proteins it stops them from clumping but also raises the proteins folding rate by increasing the folding rate her cumin allows the protein to avoid clumping with other proteins of her cumin looks really promising for the treatment of alzheimer's and parkinson'

very much like patients that have parkinson's disease. primarily because not only were they producing their therapeutic effects by blocking dopamine receptors as eric eluded to but also producing their side effects. there is that proverbial synapse, you see the presynaptic membrane releasing neurotransmitters n this case dope minute, physically traversing its synaptic, binning to the dopamine receptors. the post synaptic membrane this is the kind of communication, chemical communication that goes on in the nervous system. and virtually all anti-psychotic drugs block those dopamine receptors to produce their desirable effects. it turns out there are multiple dopamine pathways in the brain. and in fact, two of them are very important for the anti-psychotic effects of these drugs. let me also mention that the newer generation of compounds of anti-psychotic drugs that have fewer side effects, particularly extra peramital block other receptors too. they block recementer for another neurotransmitter called certificate atone in, very potently. a

so we're beginning to reconsider a lifelong diseases -- or diseases we've known lifelong as parkinson's, lot row sclerosis. huntingtons and so on as lipid metabolic disorders that may have an origin after a brain injury. you see this made manifest over retired athletes with repetitive concussions from the sports legacy institute and the work being done at boston university on the posthumously donated brains of retired professional athletes. we see the changes in the brain and a condition called chronic traumatic encephalopathy that's been identified as a single example these lifelong conditions and progressive conditions. >> thank you. thank you, mr. chairman. >> of chair, thanks. recognize the gentleman from illinois, mr. shim kiss. >> thank you, mr. chairman. i apologize for not being here for opening statements. i was giving a tour of wounded warriors in the capitol, and they just left, and it gave me time to get back here and so in that venue, obviously, some of my questions will be asked. but i -- just at the outset, dr. strickland, we think it's applaudable for us to try to organi

who amongst us would accept a diagnosis of parkinson's or alzheimer's and be satisfied with an isolated and fragmented approach to care? who amongst us would stand in the shoes of someone suffering from major depression and be silent as those symptoms are dismissed as simply psychological? and who amongst usldth one of o heroes who is suffering in silence in our country today? we cannot afford that happen. back in 2010, i joined with my stagland in launching one mind for research, an initiative to unify and focu. one mind, to bring together researchers across the spectrum of brain illnesses, and we deeply believe witll together, breakthroughs through a united mission where we unravel the mystery of the mind together, not individually. and we're setting our sights high. we aim to get all neurological disorders within ten years and eliminate the discrimination that accompanies them. this is a bold turn to none otha four-star general, mp carelli, to lead our efforts.

loss, impaired communication skills, mental illness, epilepsy and are even at risk of developing parkinson's disease or alzheimer's disease. these complications create devastating disability and injure a person's productivity and a financial burden to families and society as a whole. ensuring these patients have access to innovative and vital treatments and critical services is a great challenge that we must all work together to achieve. since passage of the traumatic brain injury of 1996 and subsequent reorganization, several federal agencies have led efforts to understand, prevent and treat traumatic brain injuries. they have undergone federal coordination through the federal inter agency committee on traumatic brain injury. this committee will hopefully center and coordinate development in traumatic brain injuries initiatives and i look forward to hearing about their proposes plans and activities. i would like to highlight the importance of addressing this important cause. i appreciate the presence of william ditto. the recently retired director of the brain injury program in new jersey.
