The Department of Neurology's hallmark is its history of carefully integrating patient care and the education of medical, postdoctoral, and graduate students. Medical Student Training, Graduate EducationThe department provides clinical and clinical research training to third- and fourth-year M.D. students. The department also offers research opportunities in various fields of neuroscience, including neuropsychology, neuroimaging, and neuroanatomy, to Ph.D. students in neuroscience and psychology.Residency ProgramAn active, four-year approved residency program qualifying physician trainees for board certification in neurology is a major aspect of the department's activity; experience in clinical electrophysiology, pediatric neurology, psychiatry, and neuropathology is part of this training.ResearchThe faculty's investigative interests center on cognitive neuroscience, degenerative diseases, cerebrovascular disease, neurogenetics, neuromuscular diseases, electrophysiological correlates of central and peripheral nervous system disease, growth factors in the nervous system, control and regulation of autonomic functions, neuro-ophthalmology, movement disorders, epilepsy, and pain management.Courses
