Brain and Spinal Injury Center (BASIC)
Injury of the central nervous system has devastating consequences, both to the individual and to society, but progress is being made in the diagnosis and treatment of brain and spinal cord injury. The mission of the Brain and Spinal Injury Center (BASIC) is to promote collaborative basic and clinical studies on injuries to the brain and spinal cord.

Cerebrovascular research in the department is concerned with ischemia and functional recovery, as well as the pathophysiology of arteriovenous malformations.
Epilepsy Research
Epilepsy research in the Department of Neurological Surgery is centered on experimental surgical treatments and basic neurobiology studies. The overall goal of our research program is to elucidate basic mechanisms through which a normal brain becomes "epileptic" and to develop novel treatment options, based on this information, for patients suffering with epilepsy.
Movement Disorders Research
Movement disorders research in the department includes experimental surgical treatments, gene therapy for Parkinson's disease, neurotransplantation strategies for Parkinson's disease, associated intraoperative neuroimaging techniques, basal ganglia physiology in movement disorders, and neurophysiological correlates for movement disorders.
Pain Research
Pain research in the department includes projects on cortical modulation of pain behavior, modeling fibromyalgia and associated pain in rats, and central nervous system (CNS)-modulated peripheral inflammation.
Pediatric Clinical Research
Current research projects focus on pediatric neurological and neurosurgical disorders, including pediatric brain tumors, congenital hydrocephalus, and fetal repair of myelomeningocele.
