| Interim Financial Statements [Policy Text Block] | Interim Financial Statements
The unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 8-03 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2012 contained herein has been derived from audited financial statements. Operating results for the six months ended June 30, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2013. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2012 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 11, 2013. |
| Basis Of Accounting [Policy Text Block] | Basis of presentation
The Company is devoting substantially all of its efforts to establishing a new business and while planned principal operations have commenced there has been no revenue generated from sales, license fees or royalties; accordingly the Company is considered a development stage enterprise. The Company’s consolidated financial statements are presented in accordance with authoritative accounting guidance related to a development stage enterprise and which provides that financial position, results of operations and cash flows of a development stage enterprise be presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles that apply to established operating enterprises. As a development stage enterprise, the Company's primary efforts are devoted to conducting research and development for the treatment of CNS diseases. The Company has experienced net losses and negative cash flows from operations since inception and expects these conditions to continue for the foreseeable future. In addition, the Company has working capital and stockholders' deficiencies as of June 30, 2013. The Company requires additional financing to fund its working capital deficiency and future operations. Further, the Company does not have any commercial products available for sale and there is no assurance that if approval of its products is received that the Company will be able to generate cash flow to fund operations. In addition, there can be no assurance that the Company's research and development will be successfully completed or that any product will be approved or commercially viable. On August 14, 2013, net cash proceeds of approximately $10,000,000 were received by the Company on the closing of an underwritten public offering for the sale of units (see Note 7). Management believes such net proceeds will be sufficient to meet its research and development and other funding requirements through at least June 30, 2014.
Costs incurred by the Company through June 30, 2013, in connection with the underwritten public offering of $109,916 have been recorded as deferred offering costs on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet. Such costs together with additional offering costs incurred subsequent to June 30, 2013 will be charged to additional paid in capital as a reduction of proceeds received from the sale of units.

| Use of Estimates, Policy [Policy Text Block] | Use of estimates
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities and expenses and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates include the useful life of fixed assets and assumptions used in the fair value of stock-based compensation. |
| Research and Development Expense, Policy [Policy Text Block] | Research and development costs
The Company outsources its research and development efforts and expenses these costs as incurred, including the cost of manufacturing products for testing, licensing fees and costs associated with planning and conducting clinical trials. The value ascribed to patents and other intellectual property acquired was expensed in 2007 and 2010 as research and development costs, as it related to particular research and development projects and had no alternative future uses. |
| Income Tax, Policy [Policy Text Block] | Income taxes
Income tax provisions or benefits for interim periods are computed based on the Company’s estimated annual effective tax rate. Based on the Company's historical losses and its expectation of continuation of losses for the foreseeable future, the Company has determined that it is more likely than not that deferred tax assets will not be realized and, accordingly, has provided a full valuation allowance. As the Company anticipates or anticipated that its net deferred tax assets at December 31, 2013 and 2012 would be fully offset by a valuation allowance, there is no federal or state income tax benefit for the periods ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 related to losses incurred during such periods. |
| Earnings Per Share, Policy [Policy Text Block] | Per share data
Basic and diluted net loss per common share is calculated by dividing net loss, by the weighted average number of outstanding shares of common stock, adjusted to give effect to a 20-for-1 reverse stock split (see Note 3). As of June 30, 2013, there were outstanding warrants to purchase an aggregate of 1,232,400 shares of the Company’s common stock (see Note 5). In addition, the Company has issued to employees, options to acquire shares of the Company’s common stock of which 376,500 were outstanding at June 30, 2013 (see Note 4). In computing diluted net loss per share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, no effect has been given to such options and warrants as their effect would be anti-dilutive. |
