Neurology

The research activity at the unit of neurology is strongly patient-oriented. Scientific questions arise from daily clinical practice and are solved by means of clinical / interventional studies and translational studies using biobank material.
Description of our research
Research fields include common neurological diseases such as epilepsy, movement disorders, acute stroke and multiple sclerosis but also sleep disorders, like narcolepsy, and more rare disorders like neurogenetic disorders, for example Huntington’s disease, and low-grade gliomas. Scientific fields like disturbances in the autonomic nervous system have been acknowledged here, and the development of treatments, have led to successful achievements of our unit.
A common focus is ”Neurotherapy”, a field where our unit for a long time achieved a strong position for developing treatments against neurological disease. Such examples are pharmacotherapy administered with pump in Parkinson’s disease, epilepsy surgery and hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) against MS, further advanced imaging diagnostics in the mapping of brain tumours, and shunt operations in normal pressure hydrocephalus (NPH).
