Department of Neurology in AAS Medicare is a vibrant and active department with prominent clinical, educational and research programs. Our specialty clinics span the neurologic diseases and conditions, and deliver state-of-the-art neurologic care to patients and families. Our translational neuroscience research not only seek to develop more effective treatment strategies with fewer side effects, but also to identify disease risk factors with the goal of preventing disease development.

The Department of Neurology conducts basic and clinical research on the nervous system and provides clinical care for people with neurological disorders, such as Alzheimer's disease and other forms of dementia, epilepsy, movement disorders like Parkinson's and Huntington's diseases, tremor, dystonia, multiple sclerosis, neuromuscular conditions, headache and sleep disorders.

Our faculty includes leading neuroscientists, who work to expand our knowledge of nervous system function, as well as neurologists and psychologists who provide diagnosis and treatment for adults and children. We partner with colleagues from throughout the health system and work closely with the Department of Neurological Surgery to provide multidisciplinary team management for neurological disorders. We also offer cutting-edge diagnostic approaches, including advanced neuroimaging technologies and access to trials of new medications and other therapeutic modalities.
