Revolutionary Advancements in Neurology


Neurology is one of the most exciting areas of medicine because so much new is being discovered every day about the brain, how it works, and what happens when it does not work (and what to do about it).

The Department of Neurology at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center is proud to be at the forefront of this revolution. We have distinguished brain research laboratories and clinical research programs in each of the major areas of neurology.
