Research Publications

The Department of Neurological Surgery is continuously researching new ways to treat or cure neurological disease. This is clearly reflected in our academic publishing record. Publishing a research paper in a journal is a huge feat. Only the most promising, thoroughly vetted scientific work is published. The process is lengthy and it can take several months from submission to peer review to the final published paper.

2009 has been an extremely productive academic publishing year for the department with 40 manuscripts in print, 23 manuscripts in press, and 27 manuscripts in submission.
