Scientific researches in medicine could be classified into two categories; an experimental medicine or a science for solving various problems and a field work medicine for discovering new problems. Although both fields of medical researches are requisite for the real progress of medicine, the importance of the latter field is now a little neglected. As the President of the 47th annual meeting of Japanese Society of Neurology, I chose "Quo vadis, Neurologia" quoting Sienkiewicz as a grand theme of the meeting and tried to find out answers to secure the future of clinical neurology. This presidential lecture is to stress the importance of a field work type of clinical researches in neurological sciences to which we, clinical neurologists, have the privileges of daily access.
一类是实验医学，即解决各种问题的科学；另一类是实地调研医学，用于发现新问题。尽管这两个医学研究领域对于医学的真正进步都是必不可少的，但后一个领域的重要性目前有点被忽视了。作为日本神经学会第47届年会的主席，我引用显克维支的话“Neurologia，你往何处去？”作为会议的主题，并试图找到确保临床神经学未来发展的答案。本次主席演讲旨在强调实地调研型临床研究在神经科学中的重要性，而我们临床神经科医生每天都有机会接触到这些研究。
