| The Cornerstone of the
Department of Neurological Surgery is its unique integration of
the Clinical program with the Research Program. Our successful and
continuing attempt to integrate the basic science and clinical research
with patient care allows us to contribute to the advancement of
knowledge in the neurosciences. More
