Departments
Neurology
As one of the premier academic neurology departments in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and the only one in central Pennsylvania, our Department of Neurology is known for world-class patient care, education and research.
From the Chair
"Our department is in an exciting phase of growth as clinical services expand to meet the needs of our patients, the residency program increases in size, and research activity and collaborations proliferate.”

Our researchers are leading a $17.9M grant from the National Institutes of Health to research neurodevelopment disorders.
The Department of Neurology partners with the Penn State Neuroscience Institute to study the neurobiological basis of various diseases, develop cutting-edge therapies and ultimately improve care for patients.
A team of researchers at the College of Medicine and collaborators from five different institutions have created a 3D atlas of developing mice brains using advanced imaging and microscopy techniques. This new atlas will help researchers understand brain development and study neurodevelopmental disorders.
