Setting a New Standard of Care for Brain Disorders

Today, seeking relief for brain disorders such as Autism, Parkinson’s and Schizophrenia is about compromise. The few treatment options that exist are only moderately effective, and bring with them significant side effects. MapLight is on a mission to change that paradigm.

Patients Deserve More
