Clinical and Translational Neurology

Clinical and Translational Neurology

Clinical neurology, a branch of neuroscience, focuses on investigating the underlying mechanisms of brain and central nervous system diseases and disorders. Its aim is to innovate new conceptual frameworks for diagnosis and treatment.

Areas within clinical neurology include:

- Clinical neurophysiology

- Neurodevelopmental disabilities

- Vascular neurology

- Behavioral neurology

- Child neurology


Translational neurology , on the other hand, applies findings from basic neuroscience research to develop clinical applications and innovative therapies for nervous system disorders. This field spans various domains such as deep brain stimulation, brain-machine interfaces, neurorehabilitation, and the creation of sensory nervous system devices like auditory implants, retinal implants, and electronic skins.

Key aspects of translational neurology involve:

- Electrophysiology

- Neuroimaging

- Gene therapy

- Stem cell research
