Neuroscience

The Division of Neuroscience is a medical multidisciplinary science that focuses on fundamental properties and functions of the human nervous system and brain. Neuroscience physicians and scientists focus on how the brain impacts human behavioral and cognitive functions, whether it be conventional or pathological.

Our practitioners and researchers tackle this expanding discipline from different fields and bring awareness to our patients from both anatomical and psychological standpoints in terms of neuroplasticity, hardwired functions, and pathological conditions. Neuroscientists are proficient in seeing patients in circumstances such as inpatient, outpatient, and critical care. Some neuroscientists specialize in different branches of study such as Behavioral, Cognitive, Computational, Neuroengineering, Neuroinformatics, Neurophysiology, and Social neuroscience.

Our Mission
