1. With rapid development of basic and clinical advancement on neural restoration, neurorestoratology has become a distinct discipline within neurosciences.
2. World wide neurological impairment due to neurodegeneration and neural injury is a major factor reducing human longevity and quality of life. Neurorestoratology seeks therapeutic solutions to this problem.
3. Neurorestoratology is the sub-discipline of neuroscience that studies neural regeneration, repair and replacement of damaged components of the nervous system, neuroplasticity, neuroprotection and neuromodulatory mechanisms of recovery. The goal of neurorestoratology is to promote recovery of neural function.
4.The research and scope of neurorestoratology cover causes and treatments of neurotrauma, neurodegeneration, cerebrovascular anoxia or ischemia, edema, demyelination, sensory and motor disorders, and neuropathic pain, as well as neural damage resulting from toxic, physical and chemical factors, immune, infectious, inflammatory, hereditary, congenital, developmental, and other causes of neural injury.
5.Neurorestorative therapies include regeneration and reconstruction of nervous tissues by transplantation of tissue, cells, or biomaterials and bioengineering, modulation by electro-magnetic stimulation, pharmaceutical or chemical therapies, and combinations of the above.
6.Functional recovery is the objective of neurorestoratology, requiring close integration of neurorestorative and neurorehabilitative therapies, as well as the practice of clinical and preventative medicine to minimize complications of neural degeneration and damage.
7.Neurorestoratology recognizes the importance of small functional gains that have significant effects on quality of life. Neurorestoratology is interested in the mechanisms of spontaneous activity and enhancing this recovery.
8.Neurorestoratology supports the highest standards for clinical trials to evaluate the safety and efficacy of its neurorestorative therapies, the establishment of validated outcome measures, and ethical treatment of patients.
9.The International Association for Neurorestoratology will develop guidelines for neurorestorative therapies, seek and encourage development of new therapies, promote multi-center collaboration, and will contribute to the training of people in the field.

| Preamble
Mission Statement for IANR Declaration of Beijing
The mission of the International Society for Neurorestoratology is to bring together in one place all the different strands of investigation which aim to repair the brain, nerves and spinal cord.
Man’s life is short, but at least the ability of doctors to repair a broken body will enable those who are injured to enjoy more fully our brief stay in this world. Yet of all the many parts of the body the nervous system, that part which is supreme, which makes us masters of our own bodies, that part in which reside our individuality and all our knowledge of past, present and future, is the one we least know how to repair. Its injuries have terrible consequences.
By the formation of this new society we aim to foster the spirit of collegiality and harmony between the many different strands of research, to encourage persistence and cooperation in these many tentative and fragile beginnings. For these are only beginnings. In what was a dark room we begin to see glimmers of light. In controlling the quality and respecting the world’s multicultural ethics our duty is to cherish that vision of the future, to have the patience needed to foster the green shoots, so that we hand on those precious glimmers of knowledge to those for whom the dark room will be bright. What to us are imaginings, they will see more clearly. They will know what we do not know. It will not be given to us to finish the task, but we are not free to desist. The most precious gift we can hand on cannot be measured. It has no price. It is hope.
