Research in Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation

The Penn State Neuroscience Institute is a cross-campus entity, with closely interacting components at Hershey and one at University Park that facilitates collaborative, interdisciplinary interactions. At the Hershey campus, clinicians and clinical researchers collaborate with their basic scientist colleagues in a variety of departments across both campuses.

Institute researchers, educators and trainees partner with our clinicians treating patients with disorders such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s diseases, brain tumors, epilepsy, stroke and addiction, to study the neurobiological basis of these diseases, develop cutting-edge therapies and ultimately improve care for patients.
