Welcome to the Department of Neurology
Welcome to the Department of Neurology at The University of Chicago where we are continuing to make significant contributions to neurological training, clinical care, and the basic understanding of neurological disease. In the past 10 years there have been tremendous changes in the fields of neurology, neuroscience, and genetics. These changes include vast technological advances in treatment and insights into molecular and cellular pathogenesis of neurological disease. With the right choices, we will be able to lead the way in this era of evolving therapeutic strategies, and train the next generation of academic neurologists to provide these treatments.
Patient Care
At the University of Chicago Medicine, we have assembled a team of neurological experts who are highly skilled in evaluating and treating the most complex and challenging nervous system disorders — with and without surgery.
Our experts in the Department of Neurology work across a number of clinical sites to provide care to patients. We offer a full spectrum of medical, surgical, pharmacological and support therapies to diagnose, treat and relieve neurological problems. These range from prescription medicines — including experimental drugs — to biofeedback and physical therapy.

Research
Our commitment to research in the Department of Neurology dates back to the origins of the Department at The University of Chicago, which was established in 1976.
Strong research programs in neuroimmunology, neuromuscular disease and neurovirology provided the initial foundation and brought national recognition. Important research programs in cerebrovascular disease, neurodegenerative disease, epilepsy and peripheral nerve disease have been added and strengthened over the subsequent years.
