About the Neurosurgery Unit
The Division of Neurosurgery, Department of Clinical Neurosciences is a research and clinically active unit exploring several aspects of neurosurgical disease including brain physics and mathematical modelling of intracranial dynamics, hydrocephalus, acute brain injury (traumatic brain injury, subarachnoid haemorrhage), myelopathy, neuro-oncology, novel teaching methods in anatomy and surgery and rigorous audit of the centre’s neurosurgical services.
Integration of the Neurosurgery Unit and the Wolfson Brain Imaging Centre (facilities for Positron Emission Tomography and 3T MR) within the Neurosciences Critical Care Unit facilitates the study of acutely ill patients, as well as functional studies of the brain and strategies for repair.
The close relationship between the clinical and academic departments underpins the successes within the department. This allows our basic science research to drive improvements in clinical services, and, the clinical services allows us to frame our research questions in a fashion that benefits patients.
