Common Stock

We have entered into an At The Market Offering Agreement (which we refer to as the “sales agreement”), dated October 25, 2013, with T.R. Winston & Company, LLC (the “Agent”) relating to shares of our common stock, par value $0.01, offered by this prospectus supplement and the accompanying base prospectus. Pursuant to the terms of the sales agreement, we may offer and sell shares of our common stock having an aggregate offering price of up to $20 million from time to time through the Agent, as our agent for the offer and sale of the shares of our common stock.

Sales of shares of our common stock, if any, under this prospectus supplement and the accompanying base prospectus may be made by any method permitted by law that is deemed to be an “at the market offering”, as defined in Rule 415 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), which includes sales made directly on the NYSE MKT, the existing trading market for our common stock, on any other existing trading market for our common stock, or sales made to or through a market maker other than on an exchange, at market prices prevailing at the time of sale or at prices related to such prevailing market prices. The Agent may also solicit purchases of shares in privately negotiated transactions. Under the terms of the sales agreement, we may also sell shares to the Agent as principal for its own account. The Agent will make these sales using commercially reasonable efforts consistent with its normal trading and sales practices and applicable law, on mutually agreeable terms between the Agent and us, and the Agent is not required to sell any specific number or dollar amount of shares of our common stock.

The compensation payable to the Agent for sales of shares of our common stock with respect to which the Agent acts as sales agent shall be equal to 4.0% of the gross sales price of those shares. Other compensation may apply when the Agent purchases shares as principal at a price agreed by us and the Agent. The net proceeds to us that we receive from sales of our common stock will depend on the number of shares actually sold and the offering price for such shares. The actual proceeds to us will vary. See “Plan of Distribution” beginning on page S-11 of this prospectus supplement. In connection with the sale of shares of our common stock on our behalf, the Agent may be deemed to be an “underwriter” within the meaning of the Securities Act, and the compensation of the Agent may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts. We have agreed to provide indemnification and contribution to the Agent against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.

Our common stock is traded on the NYSE MKT under the symbol “CUR.” On October 8, 2013 the closing price of our common stock on the NYSE MKT was $2.40 per share. Our principal executive offices are located 9700 Great Seneca Highway, Rockville, Maryland 20850, and our telephone number is (301) 366-4841.

OUR BUSINESS

This summary highlights selected information appearing elsewhere or incorporated by reference in this prospectus may not contain all of the information that is important to you. This summary is not complete and does not contain all of the information that you should consider before investing in our securities. To fully understand this offering and its consequences to you, you should read this entire prospectus supplement and the accompanying base prospectus carefully, including the information referred to under the heading “Risk Factors” in this prospectus supplement beginning on page S-8, and the financial statements and other information incorporated by reference in this prospectus when making an investment decision.

Overview

We are focused on the development and commercialization of treatments based on (i) human neuronal stem cells and (ii) small molecule compounds. We are headquartered in Rockville, Maryland and have a wholly-owned subsidiary in China.

We have developed and maintain a portfolio of patents and patent applications that form the proprietary base for our research and development efforts in the area of neural stem cell research. We own or exclusively license forty-nine (49) U.S. or foreign issued patents and fifty-nine (59) U.S. and foreign patent applications in the field of regenerative medicine, related to our stem cell technologies as well as our small molecule compounds. At times, including in the third quarter of 2012 and first quarter of 2013, we have licensed the use of our intellectual property to third parties.

We believe our technology base, in combination with our know-how, and collaborative projects with major research institutions, will facilitate the development and commercialization of products for use in the treatment of a wide array of neurodegenerative conditions and in regenerative repair of acute disease.

Regenerative medicine is a young and emerging field. Regenerative medicine is the process of creating living, functional tissues to repair or replace tissue or organ function lost due to age, disease, damage, or congenital defects. There can be no assurances that our intellectual property portfolio will ultimately produce viable commercialized products and processes. Even if we are able to produce a commercially viable product, there are strong competitors in this field and our products may not be able to successfully compete against them.

S-4

All of our research efforts to date are at the pre-clinical or clinical stage of development. We are focused on leveraging our key assets, including our intellectual property, our scientific team and our facilities, to advance our technologies. In addition, we are pursuing strategic collaborations with members of academia and industry.

Clinical Programs

Below is a description of our four most advanced clinical programs, their intended indication, current stage of development and our expected future development plans.

Program	Indication	Development Status	Future Development Plan
NSI - 566	Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS)	Commenced Phase II clinical trials.	Anticipated to complete dosing of the Phase II clinical trials during second quarter of 2014

NSI – 566	Chronic Spinal Cord Injury	Approved to commence Phase I clinical trials.	Phase I Trial expected to commence during the fourth quarter of 2013.

NSI – 566	Motor deficits due to ischemic stroke	Approved to commence combined Phase I/II clinical trials in China.	Anticipated to commence trials during the fourth quarter of 2013.

NSI – 189	Major Depressive Disorder	Completed Phase Ia, Phase Ib dosing complete.	Actively looking to partner development after Phase Ib trial. Final data expected during the fourth quarter of 2013.

NSI - 566 (Stem Cells).

Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS)

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, or ALS, is a disease of the nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord that control voluntary muscle movement. In ALS, nerve cells (neurons) waste away or die, and can no longer send messages to muscles. This eventually leads to muscle weakening, twitching, and an inability to move the arms, legs, and body. The condition slowly gets worse. When the muscles in the chest area stop working, it becomes hard or impossible to breathe. We believe that NSI-566 may provide an effective treatment for ALS by providing cells which nurture and protect the patients’ remaining motor neurons; and possibly repair some motor neurons which were not dead, but diseased.

During the first nine months of 2012, we were primarily engaged in conducting the Phase I trial for our proposed treatment of ALS at Emory University in Atlanta Georgia. The purpose of the Phase I trial was to evaluate the safety and transplantation technique of our proposed treatment and procedure. The dosing of patients in the Phase I trial, as designed, was completed in August of 2012. We commenced Phase II clinical trial in September of 2013. The Phase II dose escalation trial is designed to treat up to 15 ambulatory patients in five different dosing cohorts, under an accelerated dosing and treatment schedule. As of October 18, 2013, we have treated the first cohort. We anticipate completing the Phase II dosing in the second quarter of 2014. Although initial data from the trial appears promising, the outcome of the trial is uncertain and this trial or future trials may ultimately be unsuccessful.

Chronic Spinal Cord Injury

A spinal cord injury or SCI generally refers to any injury to the spinal cord that is caused by trauma instead of disease although in some cases, it can be the result of diseases. Chronic Spinal Cord Injury refers to the time after the initial hospitalization. Spinal cord injuries are most often traumatic, caused by lateral bending, dislocation, rotation, axial loading, and hyperflexion or hyperextension of the cord or cauda equina. Motor vehicle accidents are the most common cause of SCIs, while other causes include falls, work-related accidents, sports injuries, and penetrations such as stab or gunshot wounds. In certain instances, SCIs can also be of a non-traumatic origin, as in the case of cancer, infection, intervertebral disc disease, vertebral injury and spinal cord vascular disease. We believe that NSI-566 may provide an effective treatment for Chronic Spinal Cord Injury by “bridging the gap” in the spinal cord created in traumatic spinal cord injury and providing new cells to help transmit the signal from the brain to points at or below the point of injury.

S-5

During the first quarter of 2013, we received approval from the FDA to commence our proposed Phase I clinical trial to treat chronic spinal cord injury. We anticipate the trial will commence during the fourth quarter of 2013.

Motor Deficits Due to Ischemic Stroke

Ischemic strokes, the most common type of stroke, occur as a result of an obstruction within a blood vessel supplying blood to the brain. Post-stroke motor deficits include paralysis in arms and legs and can be permanent. We believe that NSI-566 may provide an effective treatment for restoring motor deficits resulting from Ischemic Stroke by both creating new circuitry in the area of injury and through repairing and or nurturing diseased cells to improve function in patients.

In September of 2012, we received approval to commence human clinical trials to treat motor deficits due to ischemic stroke. The trial will be conducted by our wholly owned subsidiary, Neuralstem China, of BaYi Brain Hospital in Beijing, China and will utilize our spinal cord stem cells. The trial approval includes a combined phase I/II/III design and will test direct injections into the brain of NSI-566, the same cell product used in our recently-completed Phase I ALS trial in the United States. The trial is expected to begin in the fourth quarter of 2013 and is designed to enroll up to 118 patients.

NSI - 189 (Small Molecule Pharmaceutical Compound).

Major Depression Disorder

Major depressive disorder or MDD (also known as recurrent depressive disorder, clinical depression, major depression, unipolar depression, or unipolar disorder) is a mental disorder characterized by episodes of all-encompassing low mood accompanied by low self-esteem and loss of interest or pleasure in normally enjoyable activities. We believe that NSI-189 may provide an effective treatment for patients suffering from MDD by structurally rebuilding the hippocampus.

In February of 2011, we commenced the Phase I clinical trial (Phase Ia portion) of our small molecule drug compound, NSI-189, at California Clinical Trials, LLC, in Glendale, California. NSI-189 is being developed for the treatment of major depressive disorder and other psychiatric and/or cognitive impairment indications. NSI-189 is the lead compound in our neurogenerative small molecule drug platform. The purpose of the Phase Ia portion of the trial was to evaluate the safety of the drug in healthy volunteers. The Phase Ia portion tested a single oral administration of NSI-189 in 24 healthy volunteers and was completed in October of 2011. In December of 2011, we received approval from the FDA to commence the Phase Ib portion of the trial. The purpose of the Phase Ib portion of the clinical trial is to determine the safety of the drug at several dosings in actual MDD patients. The Phase Ib portion, consisting of patients with MDD receiving daily doses for 28 consecutive days, is complete. We expect final data from the 1b trial to be available in the fourth quarter of 2013. It is still too early in the trial to make any determination as to its level of success, if any.

Technology

Stem Cells.

Our technology enables the isolation and large-scale expansion of human neural stem cells from all areas of the developing human brain and spinal cord, thus enabling the generation of physiologically relevant human neurons of all types. We believe that our stem cell technology will assist the body in producing new cells to replace malfunctioning or dead cells as a way to treat disease and injury. Many significant and currently untreatable human diseases arise from the loss or malfunction of specific cell types in the body. Our focus is the development of effective methods to generate replacement cells from neural stem cells. We believe that replacing damaged, malfunctioning or dead neural cells with fully functional ones may be a useful therapeutic strategy in treating many diseases and conditions of the central nervous system or CNS, including: Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, Multiple Sclerosis, Lou Gehrig’s disease or ALS, depression, and injuries to the spinal cord. We own or exclusively license thirty-two (32) U.S. and foreign issued patents and thirty-seven (37) U.S. and foreign patent applications related to our stem cell technologies.

To date we have focused our research efforts on applications involving spinal cord stem cells. We believe we have established “proof of principle” in animal models for important spinal cord cell applications: ALS and Traumatic spinal cord injury. Of these applications, we have completed our first Phase I trial with regard to ALS and commenced initial Phase II trials in the September of 2013. We have also received approval from the United States Food and Drug Administration or FDA to commence a Phase I trial in Chronic Spinal Cord Injury (patients one to two years out from their injury) in complete (no sensory of motor function from the site of the injury down) thoracic patients. We believe that, if successfully developed, stem cell therapeutics have the potential to provide a broad therapeutic approach comparable to traditional pharmaceuticals and genetically engineered biologics. We expect this trial to start in the fourth quarter of 2013.

Small Molecule Pharmaceutical Compounds.

We have developed and patented a series of small molecule compounds (low molecular weight organic compounds which can efficiently cross the blood/brain barrier). We believe that these small molecule compounds will stimulate the growth of new neurons in the hippocampus and provide a treatment for depression, and possibly other cognitive impacting diseases. In mice, our research indicated that our small molecule compounds both stimulate neurogenesis of the hippocampus and increase its volume. Additionally, our research also indicates that our small molecule compounds stimulate neurogenesis of human hippocampus-derived neural stem cells in vitro. Based on this research, we believe that our small molecule compounds may assist in reversing atrophy in the human hippocampus. Such atrophy has been seen in major depression and other disorders.

S-6

Our small molecule compounds are covered by seventeen (17) exclusively owned U.S. and foreign issued patents and twenty-two (22) exclusively owned U.S. and foreign patent applications related to our small molecule compounds.

Operating Strategy

We generally employ an outsourcing strategy where we outsource our Good Laboratory Practices or GLP preclinical development activities and Good Manufacturing Practices or GMP manufacturing and clinical development activities to contract research organizations or CRO and contract manufacturing organizations or CMO as well as all non-critical corporate functions. Manufacturing is also outsourced to organizations with approved facilities and manufacturing practices. This outsource model allows us to better manage cash on hand and minimize non-vital expenditures. It also allows for us to operate with relatively fewer employees and lower fixed costs than that required by similar companies.

Manufacturing

We currently manufacture our cells both in-house and on an outsource basis. We outsource the manufacturing of our pharmaceutical compound to third party manufacturers. We manufacture cells in-house which are not required to meet stringent FDA requirements. We use these cells in our research and collaborative programs. We outsource all the manufacturing and storage of our stem cells and pharmaceuticals compound to be used in pre-clinical works, and which are accordingly subject to higher FDA requirements, to Charles River Laboratories, Inc., of Wilmington, Massachusetts (stem cells) and Albany Molecular Resources, Inc. (“AMRI”) (small molecule). Both the Charles River and AMRI facilities have the capacity to be used for manufacturing under the FDA determined GMP standards in quantities sufficient for our current and anticipated pre-trial and clinical trial needs. We have no quantity or volume commitment with either Charles River Laboratories or AMRI and our cells and pharmaceutical compounds are ordered and manufactured on an as needed basis.

Employees

As of September 30, 2013, we had 13 full-time employees and one full-time independent contractor. Of these employees and contractor, nine work on research and development and five in administration. We also use the services of numerous outside consultants in business and scientific matters.

NYSE MKT	CUR

RISK FACTORS

Your investment in our shares of common stock is subject to certain risks. This prospectus supplement does not describe all of those risks. You should consult your own financial and legal advisors about the risks entailed by an investment in our shares of common stock and the suitability of your investment in our shares of common stock in light of your particular circumstances. For a discussion of some of the factors you should carefully consider before deciding to purchase any of our shares of common stock that may be offered, please read “Risk Factors” in the documents incorporated by reference herein, as well as those risk factors included below. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also adversely affect our business and operations. If any of the matters described in the risk factors were to occur, our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows or prospects could be materially adversely affected. In such case, you could lose all or a portion of your investment.

Risks Related to the Offering

You may experience immediate dilution in the book value per share of the common stock you purchase.

Because the price per share of our common stock being offered from time to time may be substantially higher than the book value per share of our common stock at the time of the sale, you may suffer substantial dilution in the net tangible book value of the common stock you purchase in this offering.

This offering and any future offerings of our common stock may have detrimental effects on existing stockholders.

The sale by us of any shares of our common stock may have the following effects:

•

our existing stockholders’ proportionate ownership interest in us will decrease;

•

our existing stockholders may suffer significant dilution;

•

the relative voting strength of each previously outstanding share of our common stock will be diminished; and

•

the market prices of our common stock may decline.

Our management will have broad discretion over the use of proceeds from this offering and may not use the proceeds effectively.

Our management will have broad discretion as to the application of the net proceeds from this offering and could spend the proceeds in a variety of ways that may ultimately fail to improve our operating results or enhance the value of our common stock. Our failure to apply these funds effectively could have a negative effect on our business and cause the price of our common stock to decline.

S-8

Our publicly filed reports are subject to review by the SEC, and any significant changes or amendments required as a result of any such review may result in material liability to us and may have a material adverse impact on the trading price of our common stock.

The reports of publicly traded companies are subject to review by the SEC from time to time for the purpose of assisting companies in complying with applicable disclosure requirements, and the SEC is required to undertake a comprehensive review of a company’s reports at least once every three years under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. SEC reviews may be initiated at any time. We could be required to modify, amend or reformulate information contained in prior filings as a result of an SEC review. Any modification, amendment or reformulation of information contained in such reports could be significant and result in material liability to us and have a material adverse impact on the trading price of our common stock.

Additional Risks Related to our Business, Industry and an Investment in our Common Stock

For a discussion of additional risks associated with our business, our industry and an investment in our common stock, see the section entitled “Risk Factors” in our most recent our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012, and in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2013, filed with the SEC on March 15, 2013 and May 10, 2013, respectively, as well as any other subsequently filed document that is also incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference in this prospectus.

USE OF PROCEEDS

We intend to use the net proceeds from the sale of the securities covered by this prospectus for general corporate purposes, which may include working capital, capital expenditures, research and development expenditures, clinical trial expenditures, acquisitions of new technologies or businesses, and investments. Pending use for these purposes, we may invest proceeds from the sale of the securities in short-term marketable securities. The precise amount and timing of sales of any common stock will be dependent on market conditions and the availability and cost of other funds to us.

DILUTION

If you invest in this offering, your ownership interest will be diluted to the extent of the difference between the public offering price per share and the as adjusted net tangible book value per share after giving effect to this offering. Our net tangible book value as of June 30, 2013, was approximately $3.4 million, or approximately $0.05per share of common stock. Net tangible book value per share represents the amount of total tangible assets (total assets less intangible assets) less total liabilities, divided by the number of shares of our common stock outstanding as of June 30, 2013.

Dilution in net tangible book value per share represents the difference between the amount per share paid by purchasers in this offering and the net tangible book value per share of our common stock immediately after this offering. After giving effect to the assumed sale of shares of our common stock in the aggregate amount of approximately $20,000,000 at an assumed offering price of $2.40 per share, the last reported sale price of our common stock on October 18, 2013, and after deduction of commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us, our as adjusted net tangible book value as of June 30, 2013, would have been approximately $22.5 million or $0.28 per share of common stock. This represents an immediate increase in net tangible book value of $0.23 per share of common stock to our existing stockholders and an immediate dilution in net tangible book value of $2.12 per share of common stock to investors participating in this offering at an assumed offering price of $2.40 per share. The following table illustrates this per share dilution:

Assumed offering price per share			$	2.40
Net tangible book value per share as of June 30, 2013	$	0.05
Increase in net tangible book value per share attributable to this offering	$	0.23
As adjusted net tangible book value per share as of June 30, 2013, after giving effect to this offering			$	0.28
Dilution per share to new investors participating in this offering			$	2.12

S-9

The table above assumes for illustrative purposes that an aggregate of 8,333,333 shares of our common stock are sold at a price of $2.40 per share, the last reported sale price of our common stock on the NYSE MKT on October 18, 2013 for aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $20,000,000. The shares sold in this offering, if any, will be sold from time to time at various prices. An increase, or decrease, of $0.40 per share in the price at which the shares are sold from the assumed offering price of $2.40 per share shown in the table above, assuming the entire $20,000,000 worth of shares of common stock offered are sold at that price, would increase (or decrease) our adjusted net tangible book value per share after the offering by approximately $ 0.01and $0.00 per share, respectively, and the dilution in net tangible book value per share new investors in this offering by approximately $0.39 and ($0.40) per share, respectively, after deducting the estimated commissions of the placement agent and estimated aggregate offering expenses payable by us.

This information is supplied for illustrative purposes only, and will adjust based on the actual offering prices, the actual number of shares that we offer and sell in this offering and other terms of each sale of shares in this offering.

The number of shares of common stock to be outstanding after this offering is based on 70,606,448 shares outstanding on June 30, 2013 and excludes as of that date:

options representing the right to purchase a total of 16,289,866 shares of common stock at a weighted average exercise price of $1.90 per share;

warrants representing the right to purchase a total of 18,647,017 shares of common stock at a weighted-average exercise price of $1.79 per share; and

restricted stock units representing the right to receive 402,193 shares of common stock;

conditional grants to purchase 2,114,881 shares of common stock subject to shareholder approval to Karl Johe, our chief scientific officer and chairman of the board of directors and several independent directors;

32,133 shares of common stock available for future issuances under our equity compensation plans; and

up to $1,000,000 worth of common stock that can be issued pursuant to the conversion of a convertible note at a variable conversion price per share.

The foregoing discussion and table also exclude the following stock, warrant and option transactions that have occurred subsequent to June 30, 2013:

1,042,520 warrants were exercised for common shares and 942,520 replacement warrants were issued in conjunction with certain of the exercises in July 2013;

warrants representing the right to purchase 2,000,000 shares of common stock were issued in August 2013 in exchange for advisory services;

2,847,500 common shares, 1,423,750 common shares underlying warrants, and 170,850 common shares underlying a placement agent warrant were issued in September 2013 pursuant to our registered unit offering;

2,093,930 warrants were exercised for common shares, 72,440 common shares were issued as a commission on certain exercises and 248,867 warrants were forfeited in September 2013.

To the extent that outstanding options or warrants are exercised, investors purchasing our common stock in this offering will experience further dilution. In addition, we may choose to raise additional capital due to market conditions or strategic considerations even if we believe we have sufficient funds for our current or future operating plans. To the extent that additional capital is raised through the sale of equity or convertible debt securities, the issuance of these securities could result in further dilution to our stockholders.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

We have entered into a sales agreement, dated October 25, 2013, with the Agent, under the terms and conditions of which we may issue and sell from time to time up to $20 million of shares of our common stock through the Agent, as our sales agent. Under the terms of the sales agreement, we may also sell shares to the Agent as principal for its own account. This prospectus supplement relates to the offer and sale of such shares of common stock under such sales agreement under the registration statement of which this prospectus supplement forms a part.

Upon instructions from us, the Agent will use commercially reasonable efforts, consistent with its normal sales and trading practices and applicable law, to sell shares of our common stock under the sales agreement pursuant to this prospectus supplement. Sales of shares of common stock, if any, pursuant to this prospectus supplement may be made by any method permitted by law deemed to be an “at the market offering” as defined in Rule 415 under the Securities Act, including, without limitation, sales made directly on or through the NYSE MKT, the existing trading market for the common stock, on any other existing trading market for our common stock, or sales made to or through a market maker other than on an exchange, at market prices prevailing at the time of sale or at prices related to such prevailing market prices or in privately negotiated transactions. As our sales agent, the Agent will not engage in any transactions that stabilize the common stock.

Under the sales agreement between us and the Agent, we will instruct the Agent in a sales notice as to the maximum amount of shares of our common stock to be sold by the Agent daily, and the minimum price per share at which such shares may be sold. Subject to the conditions of the sales agreement, the Agent will use its commercially reasonable efforts to solicit purchases on a particular day of all shares designated for sale by us on that day. The gross sales price of the shares sold will be the market price for shares of our common stock sold by the Agent on the trading market at the time of sale of the shares. We may instruct the Agent not to sell shares if the sales cannot be effected at or above the minimum price designated by us in any such instruction. We or the Agent may suspend the offering of our common stock upon proper notice and subject to certain other conditions. The obligation of the Agent under the sales agreement to sell our common stock pursuant to a sales notice is subject to a number of conditions.

The Agent will provide written confirmation to us following the close of trading on the NYSE MKT following each day in which shares of our common stock are sold under the sales agreement. Each confirmation will include the number of shares sold on the day, the aggregate gross sales proceeds, the net proceeds to us and the compensation payable by us to the Agent with respect to the sales.

We will pay the Agent commissions for its services in acting as our agent in the sale of our common stock. The compensation payable to the Agent for sales of shares of our common stock with respect to which the Agent acts as sales agent shall be equal to 4.0% of the gross sales price of those shares. There is no guarantee that there will be any sales of our common stock under this prospectus supplement and the accompanying base prospectus and actual sales, if any, of our common stock under this prospectus supplement and the accompanying base prospectus may result in gross proceeds to us of less than $20,000,000, exclusive of any Agent compensation or other offering fees and expenses.

Settlement for sales of shares of our common stock will occur on the third business day following the date on which any sales are made, or on some other date that is agreed upon by us and the Agent in connection with a particular sales notice or transaction, in return for payment of the net proceeds to us. There is no arrangement for funds to be received in an escrow, trust or similar arrangement.

In connection with the sale of shares of our common stock on our behalf, the Agent may be deemed to be an “underwriter” within the meaning of the Securities Act, and the compensation of the Agent may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts. We have agreed to provide indemnification and contribution to the Agent against certain civil liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act. We have also agreed to reimburse the Agent for its legal and due diligence expenses up to an aggregate amount not to exceed $70,000, subject to compliance with FINRA Rule 5110(f)(2)(D).

We estimate that the total expenses of the offering payable by us, excluding commissions payable to the Agent under the sales agreement, will be approximately $100,000.

The offering of shares of our common stock pursuant to the sales agreement will terminate upon the earlier of (1) October [*], 2015, or (2) the termination of the sales agreement. The sales agreement may be terminated by us or the Agent in each party’s sole discretion at any time by giving five business days prior written notice to the other party.

This is a brief summary of the material provisions of the sales agreement and does not purport to be a complete statement of its terms and conditions. A copy of the sales agreement will be filed with the SEC on a Current Report on Form 8-K and will be incorporated by reference into the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part.

The Agent and its affiliates may in the future provide various investment banking and other financial services for us for which services they may in the future receive customary fees.

THE COMPANY

Overview

We have developed and maintain a portfolio of patents and patent applications that form the proprietary base for our research and development efforts in the area of neural stem cell research. We own or exclusively license forty-eight (48) U.S. or foreign issued patents and fifty-eight (58) U.S. and foreign patent applications in the field of regenerative medicine, related to our stem cell technologies as well as our small molecule compounds. At times, including in the third quarter of 2012 and first quarter of 2013, we have licensed the use of our intellectual property to third parties.

Clinical Programs

Below is a description of our four most advanced clinical programs, their intended indication, current stage of development and our expected future development plans.

Program	Indication	Development Status	Future Development Plan
NSI - 566	Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS)	Completed Phase I clinical trials. FDA approval to commence Phase II received in April of 2013.	Anticipated to commence the Phase II clinical trials during August or September of 2013

NSI – 566	Chronic Spinal Cord Injury	Investigational New Drug Application submitted. FDA approval announced 1/14/13.	Phase I Trial expected to commence during the second half of 2013.

NSI – 566	Motor deficits due to ischemic stroke	Approval to commence combined Phase I/II clinical trials in China.	Anticipated to commence trials during the third quarter of 2013.

NSI – 189	Major Depressive Disorder	Completed Phase Ia, Phase Ib currently underway, with two cohorts having commenced treatment to date. FDA has approved the dosing of third and final cohorts.	Actively looking to partner development after Phase Ib trial. Final data expected during the third quarter of 2013.

NSI - 566 (Stem Cells).

Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS)

During the first nine months of 2012, we were primarily engaged in conducting the Phase I trial for our proposed treatment of ALS at Emory University in Atlanta Georgia. The purpose of the Phase I trial was to evaluate the safety and transplantation technique of our proposed treatment and procedure. The dosing of patients in the Phase I trial, as designed, was completed in August of 2012. The collection of data for the final trial report ended six months after the last surgery, which was in late February 2013. During the Phase I trial, we treated fifteen patients with eighteen (18) surgeries; of which twelve (12) were transplantation in the lumbar (lower back) region, three (3) in the cervical (upper back) region and three (3) in both the lumbar and cervical regions under our amended protocol. Although initial data from the trial appears promising, the outcome of the trial is uncertain and this trial or future trials may ultimately be unsuccessful. In April of 2013 we received approval from the FDA to commence our Phase II clinical trial. We anticipate commencing the Phase II clinical trial, for our proposed treatment of ALS, during the third quarter of 2013.

Chronic Spinal Cord Injury

Motor Deficits Due to Ischemic Stroke

In September of 2012, we received approval to commence human clinical trials to treat motor deficits due to ischemic stroke. The trial will be conducted by our wholly owned subsidiary, Neuralstem China, and will utilize our spinal cord stem cells. The trial will be conducted at BaYi Brain Hospital in Beijing, China. The trial approval includes a combined phase I/II/III design and will test direct injections into the brain of NSI-566, the same cell product used in our recently-completed Phase I ALS trial in the United States. The trial is expected to begin in the third quarter of 2013 and is designed to enroll up to 118 patients.

NSI - 189 (Small Molecule Pharmaceutical Compound).

Major Depression Disorder

In February of 2011, we commenced the Phase I clinical trial (Phase Ia portion) of our small molecule drug compound, NSI-189, at California Clinical Trials, LLC, in Glendale, California. NSI-189 is being developed for the treatment of major depressive disorder and other psychiatric and/or cognitive impairment indications. NSI-189 is the lead compound in our neurogenerative small molecule drug platform. The purpose of the Phase Ia portion of the trial was to evaluate the safety of the drug in healthy volunteers. The Phase Ia portion tested a single oral administration of NSI-189 in 24 healthy volunteers and was completed in October of 2011. In December of 2011, we received approval from the FDA to commence the Phase Ib portion of the trial. The purpose of the Phase Ib portion of the clinical trial is to determine the safety of the drug at several dosings in actual MDD patients. The Phase Ib portion consists of patients with MDD receiving daily doses for 28 consecutive days. In June of 2012, we dosed our first patient in the Phase Ib portion of the trial. To date, we have completed dosing two of the three cohorts of patients in the Phase Ib portion of the trial and are near completion of the third cohort. We expect final data from the 1b trial to be available in the third quarter of 2013. It is still too early in the trial to make any determination as to its level of success, if any.

Technology

Stem Cells.

Our technology enables the isolation and large-scale expansion of human neural stem cells from all areas of the developing human brain and spinal cord, thus enabling the generation of physiologically relevant human neurons of all types. We believe that our stem cell technology will assist the body in producing new cells to replace malfunctioning or dead cells as a way to treat disease and injury. Many significant and currently untreatable human diseases arise from the loss or malfunction of specific cell types in the body. Our focus is the development of effective methods to generate replacement cells from neural stem cells. We believe that replacing damaged, malfunctioning or dead neural cells with fully functional ones may be a useful therapeutic strategy in treating many diseases and conditions of the central nervous system or CNS, including: Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, Multiple Sclerosis, Lou Gehrig’s disease or ALS, depression, and injuries to the spinal cord. We own or exclusively license thirty-one (31) U.S. and foreign issued patents and thirty-six (36) U.S. and foreign patent applications related to our stem cell technologies.

To date we have focused our research efforts on applications involving spinal cord stem cells. We believe we have established “proof of principle” in animal models for important spinal cord cell applications: ALS and Traumatic spinal cord injury. Of these applications, we have completed our first Phase I trial with regard to ALS and anticipate commencing initial Phase II trials in the third quarter of 2013. We have also received approval from the United States Food and Drug Administration or FDA to commence a Phase I trial in Chronic Spinal Cord Injury (patients one to two years out from their injury) in complete (no sensory of motor function from the site of the injury down) thoracic patients. We believe that, if successfully developed, stem cell therapeutics have the potential to provide a broad therapeutic approach comparable to traditional pharmaceuticals and genetically engineered biologics. We expect this trial to start in the third quarter of 2013 also.

Small Molecule Pharmaceutical Compounds.

Our small molecule compounds are covered by seventeen (17) exclusively owend U.S. and foreign issued patents and twenty-two (22) exclusively owned U.S. and foreign patent applications related to our small molecule compounds.

Operating Strategy

Manufacturing

Employees

As of June 30, 2013, we had 16 full-time employees and one (1) full-time independent contractor. Of these full-time employees and contractor, 12 work on research and development and five (5) in administration. We also use the services of numerous outside consultants in business and scientific matters.

Any future determination about the payment of dividends will be made at the discretion of our board of directors and will depend upon our earnings, if any, capital requirements, operating and financial conditions and on such other factors as our board of directors deems relevant.

DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES TO BE REGISTERED

Description of the Capital Stock

As of the date of this prospectus, our authorized capital stock consists of 150,000,000 shares designated as common stock, $0.01 par value, and 7,000,000 shares designated as preferred stock, $0.01 par value. As of August 26, 2013, there were 71,648,968 shares of common stock issued and outstanding and no shares of preferred stock outstanding. Additionally, as of such date, we have reserved for issuance pursuant to outstanding options, warrants and convertible securities, as well for future grants under our equity compensation plans, 39,386,089 shares of common stock.

The following is a summary of the material provisions of the common stock and preferred stock provided for in our certificate of incorporation and bylaws. For additional detail about our capital stock, please refer to our certificate of incorporation and bylaws, each as amended, copies of which are incorporated by reference into the registration statement to which this prospectus relates.

Common stock

The holders of common stock are entitled to one vote per share on all matters to be voted upon by the stockholders and there are no cumulative rights. Subject to preferences that may be applicable to any outstanding preferred stock, the holders of common stock are entitled to receive ratably any dividends that may be declared from time to time by the board of directors out of funds legally available for that purpose. However, we are not currently paying any dividends. In the event of our liquidation, dissolution or winding up, the holders of common stock are entitled to share ratably in all assets remaining after payment of liabilities, subject to prior distribution rights of preferred stock then outstanding. The common stock has no preemptive or conversion rights or other subscription rights. There are no redemption or sinking fund provisions applicable to the common stock. The outstanding shares of common stock are fully paid and non-assessable, and any shares of common stock to be issued upon an offering pursuant to this prospectus and the related prospectus supplement will be fully paid and nonassessable upon issuance.

The transfer agent and registrar for our common stock is American Stock Transfer and Trust Company. Our common stock is listed for quotation on the NYSE MKT under the symbol “CUR.”

Preferred stock

The following description of preferred stock and the description of the terms of any particular series of preferred stock that we choose to issue hereunder and that will be set forth in the related prospectus supplement are not complete. These descriptions are qualified in their entirety by reference to our certificate of incorporation and the certificate of designation relating to that series. The rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions of the preferred stock of each series will be fixed by the certificate of designation relating to that series. The prospectus supplement also will contain a description of certain U.S. federal income tax consequences relating to the purchase and ownership of the series of preferred stock that is described in the prospectus supplement.

We currently have no shares of preferred stock outstanding. Our board of directors has the authority, without further action by the stockholders, to issue up to 7,000,000 shares of preferred stock in one or more series and to fix the rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions granted to or imposed upon the preferred stock. Any or all of these rights may be greater than the rights of the common stock.

The board of directors, without stockholder approval, can issue preferred stock with voting, conversion or other rights that could negatively affect the voting power and other rights of the holders of common stock. Preferred stock could thus be issued quickly with terms calculated to delay or prevent a change in control of us or make it more difficult to remove our management. Additionally, the issuance of preferred stock may have the effect of decreasing the market price of the common stock.

The prospectus supplement for a series of preferred stock will specify:

the price of and maximum number of shares;

the designation of the shares;

the annual dividend rate, if any, whether the dividend rate is fixed or variable, the date or dates on which dividends will accrue, the dividend payment dates, and whether dividends will be cumulative;

the price and the terms and conditions for redemption, if any, including redemption at our option or at the option of the holders, including the time period for redemption, and any accumulated dividends or premiums;

the liquidation preference, if any, and any accumulated dividends upon the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of our affairs;

any sinking fund or similar provision, and, if so, the terms and provisions relating to the purpose and operation of the fund;

the terms and conditions, if any, for conversion or exchange of shares of any other class or classes of our capital stock or any series of any other class or classes, or of any other series of the same class, or any other securities or assets, including the price or the rate of conversion or exchange and the method, if any, of adjustment;

the voting rights; and

any or all other preferences and relative, participating, optional or other special rights, privileges or qualifications, limitations or restrictions.

Preferred stock will be fully paid and nonassessable upon issuance.

Anti-Takeover Effects of Some Provisions of Delaware Law

Provisions of Delaware law could make the acquisition of our company through a tender offer, a proxy contest or other means more difficult and could make the removal of incumbent officers and directors more difficult. We expect these provisions to discourage coercive takeover practices and inadequate takeover bids and to encourage persons seeking to acquire control of our company to first negotiate with our board of directors. We believe that the benefits provided by our ability to negotiate with the proponent of an unfriendly or unsolicited proposal outweigh the disadvantages of discouraging these proposals. We believe the negotiation of an unfriendly or unsolicited proposal could result in an improvement of its terms.

We are subject to Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, an anti-takeover law. In general, Section 203 prohibits a publicly held Delaware corporation from engaging in a “business combination” with an “interested stockholder” for a period of three years following the date the person became an interested stockholder, unless:

Prior to the date of the transaction, the board of directors of the corporation approved either the business combination or the transaction which resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder;

The stockholder owned at least 85% of the voting stock of the corporation outstanding at the time the transaction commenced, excluding for purposes of determining the number of shares outstanding (a) shares owned by persons who are directors and also officers, and (b) shares owned by employee stock plans in which employee participants do not have the right to determine confidentially whether shares held subject to the plan will be tendered in a tender or exchange offer; or

On or subsequent to the date of the transaction, the business combination is approved by the board and authorized at an annual or special meeting of stockholders, and not by written consent, by the affirmative vote of at least two-thirds of the outstanding voting stock that is not owned by the interested stockholder.

Generally, a “business combination” includes a merger, asset or stock sale, or other transaction resulting in a financial benefit to the interested stockholder. An “interested stockholder” is a person who, together with affiliates and associates, owns or, within three years prior to the determination of interested stockholder status, did own 15% or more of a corporation’s outstanding voting securities. We expect the existence of this provision to have an anti-takeover effect with respect to transactions our board of directors does not approve in advance. We also anticipate that Section 203 may also discourage attempts that might result in a premium over the market price for the shares of common stock held by stockholders.

Anti-Takeover Effects of Provisions of Our Charter Documents

Our amended and restated bylaws provides for our board of directors to be divided into three classes serving staggered terms. Approximately one-third of the board of directors will be elected each year. The provision for a classified board could prevent a party who acquires control of a majority of the outstanding voting stock from obtaining control of the board of directors until the second annual stockholders meeting or longer, following the date the acquirer obtains the controlling stock interest. The classified board provision could discourage a potential acquirer from making a tender offer or otherwise attempting to obtain control of our company and could increase the likelihood that incumbent directors will retain their positions. Our amended and restated bylaws provides any director or the entire Board may be removed from office at any time, with or without cause, by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least a majority of the voting power of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of the corporation then entitled to vote in the election of directors.

Our amended and restated bylaws establish an advance notice procedure for stockholder proposals to be brought before an annual meeting of our stockholders, including proposed nominations of persons for election to the board of directors. At an annual meeting, stockholders may only consider proposals or nominations specified in the notice of meeting or brought before the meeting by or at the direction of the board of directors. Stockholders may also consider a proposal or nomination by a person who was a stockholder of record on the record date for the meeting, who is entitled to vote at the meeting and who has given to our Secretary timely written notice, in proper form, of his or her intention to bring that business before the meeting. The amended and restated bylaws do not give the board of directors the power to approve or disapprove stockholder nominations of candidates or proposals regarding other business to be conducted at a special or annual meeting of the stockholders. However, our bylaws may have the effect of precluding the conduct of business at a meeting if the proper procedures are not followed. These provisions may also discourage or deter a potential acquirer from conducting a solicitation of proxies to elect the acquirer’s own slate of directors or otherwise attempting to obtain control of our company.

Our amended and restated bylaws provide that only our board of directors, the chairperson of the board or the chief executive officer (or president, in the absence of a chief executive officer) or holders of more than twenty percent (20%) of the total voting power of the outstanding shares of capital stock may call a special meeting of stockholders. The restriction on the ability of stockholders to call a special meeting means that a proposal to replace the board also could be delayed until the next annual meeting.

Description of the Warrants

We may issue warrants for the purchase of our preferred stock or common stock, or any combination thereof. Warrants may be issued independently or together with our preferred stock or common stock and may be attached to, or separate from, any offered securities. Each series of warrants will be issued under a separate warrant agreement to be entered into between us and the warrant holder or a bank or trust company, as warrant agent. In the event we engage a warrant agent, the warrant agent will act solely as our agent in connection with the warrants. The warrant agent will not have any obligation or relationship of agency or trust for or with any holders or beneficial owners of warrants. This summary of certain provisions of the warrants is not complete. For the terms of a particular series of warrants, you should refer to the prospectus supplement and the warrant agreement for that particular series.

The prospectus supplement relating to a particular series of warrants to purchase our common stock or preferred stock will describe the terms of the warrants, including the following:

the title of the warrants;

the exercise price of the warrants;

the offering price for the warrants, if any;

the aggregate number of warrants;

the designation and terms of the common stock or preferred stock that may be purchased upon exercise of the warrants;

if applicable, the designation and terms of the securities with which the warrants are issued and the number of warrants issued with each security;

if applicable, the date from and after which the warrants and any securities issued with the warrants will be separately transferable;

the number of shares of common stock or preferred stock that may be purchased upon exercise of a warrant and the exercise price for the warrants;

the dates on which the right to exercise the warrants shall commence and expire;

if applicable, the minimum or maximum amount of the warrants that may be exercised at any one time;

the currency or currency units in which the offering price, if any, and the exercise price are payable;

if applicable, a discussion of material U.S. federal income tax considerations;

the antidilution provisions of the warrants, if any;

the redemption or call provisions, if any, applicable to the warrants;

any provisions with respect to the holder’s right to require us to repurchase the warrants upon a change in control or similar event; and

any additional terms of the warrants, including procedures, and limitations relating to the exchange, exercise and settlement of the warrants.

Holders of equity warrants will not be entitled:

to vote, consent or receive dividends;

receive notice as stockholders with respect to any meeting of stockholders for the election of our directors or any other matter; or

exercise any rights of our stockholders.

Description of the Units

We may issue units comprised of one or more of the other classes of securities described in this prospectus in any combination. Each unit will be issued so that the holder of the unit is also the holder of each security included in the unit. Thus, the holder of a unit will have the rights and obligations of a holder of each included security. The prospectus supplement will describe:

the designation and terms of the units and of the securities comprising the units, including whether and under what circumstances the securities comprising the units may be held or transferred separately;

a description of the terms of any agreement governing the units;

a description of the provisions for the payment, settlement, transfer or exchange of the units; and

a discussion of material federal income tax considerations, if applicable; and

The descriptions of the units in this prospectus and in any prospectus supplement are summaries of the material provisions of the applicable agreements. These descriptions do not restate those agreements in their entirety and may not contain all the information that you may find useful. We urge you to read the applicable agreements because they, and not the summaries, define your rights as holders of the units.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

We may sell the offered securities in any of the ways described below or in any combination or any other way set forth in an applicable prospectus supplement from time to time:

to or through underwriters or dealers;

through one or more agents; or

directly to purchasers or to a single purchaser.

The distribution of the securities may be effected from time to time in one or more transactions:

at a fixed price, or prices, which may be changed from time to time;

at market prices prevailing at the time of sale;

at prices related to such prevailing market prices; or

at negotiated prices.

Each prospectus supplement will describe the method of distribution of the securities and any applicable restrictions.

The prospectus supplement with respect to the securities of a particular series will describe the terms of the offering of the securities, including the following:

the name or names of any underwriters, dealers or agents and the amounts of securities underwritten or purchased by each of them;

the public offering price of the securities and the proceeds to us and any discounts, commissions or concessions allowed or reallowed or paid to dealers; and

any exchanges on which the securities may be listed.

Any offering price and any discounts or concessions allowed or reallowed or paid to dealers may be changed from time to time.

Only the agents or underwriters named in each prospectus supplement are agents or underwriters in connection with the securities being offered thereby.

We may authorize underwriters, dealers or other persons acting as our agents to solicit offers by certain institutions to purchase securities from us pursuant to delayed delivery contracts providing for payment and delivery on the date stated in each applicable prospectus supplement. Each contract will be for an amount not less than, and the aggregate amount of securities sold pursuant to such contracts shall not be less nor more than, the respective amounts stated in each applicable prospectus supplement. Institutions with whom the contracts, when authorized, may be made include commercial and savings banks, insurance companies, pension funds, investment companies, educational and charitable institutions and other institutions, but shall in all cases be subject to our approval. Delayed delivery contracts will be subject only to those conditions set forth in each applicable prospectus supplement, and each prospectus supplement will set forth any commissions we pay for solicitation of these contracts.

Agents, underwriters and other third parties described above may be entitled to indemnification by us against certain civil liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, or to contribution from us with respect to payments that the agents, underwriters or other third parties may be required to make in respect of these civil liabilities. Agents, underwriters and such other third parties may be customers of, engage in transactions with, or perform services for us in the ordinary course of business.

One or more firms, referred to as “remarketing firms,” may also offer or sell the securities, if a prospectus supplement so indicates, in connection with a remarketing arrangement upon their purchase. Remarketing firms will act as principals for their own accounts or as our agents. These remarketing firms will offer or sell the securities in accordance with the terms of the securities. Each prospectus supplement will identify and describe any remarketing firm and the terms of its agreement, if any, with us and will describe the remarketing firm’s compensation. Remarketing firms may be deemed to be underwriters in connection with the securities they remarket. Remarketing firms may be entitled under agreements that may be entered into with us to indemnification by us against certain civil liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, and may be customers of, engage in transactions with, or perform services for, us in the ordinary course of business.

Certain underwriters may use this prospectus and any accompanying prospectus supplement for offers and sales related to market-making transactions in the securities. These underwriters may act as principal or agent in these transactions, and the sales will be made at prices related to prevailing market prices at the time of sale.

The securities we offer may be new issues of securities and may have no established trading market. The securities may or may not be listed on a securities exchange. Underwriters may make a market in these securities, but will not be obligated to do so and may discontinue any market making at any time without notice. We can make no assurance as to the liquidity of, or the existence of trading markets for, any of the securities.

Certain persons participating in an offering may engage in overallotment, stabilizing transactions, short covering transactions and penalty bids in accordance with rules and regulations under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Overallotment involves sales in excess of the offering size, which create a short position. Stabilizing transactions permit bids to purchase the underlying security so long as the stabilizing bids do not exceed a specified maximum. Short covering transactions involve purchases of the securities in the open market after the distribution is completed to cover short positions. Penalty bids permit the underwriters to reclaim a selling concession from a dealer when the securities originally sold by the dealer are purchased in a short covering transaction to cover short positions. Those activities may cause the price of the securities to be higher than it would otherwise be. If commenced, the underwriters may discontinue any of the activities at any time.

We also may sell any of the securities through agents designated by us from time to time. We will name any agent involved in the offer or sale of these securities and will list commissions payable by us to these agents in the applicable prospectus supplement. These agents will be acting on a best efforts basis to solicit purchases for the period of its appointment, unless stated otherwise in the applicable prospectuses.
