The goal of the Department of Neurology is to develop programmatic areas of relevance to the developing brain and to integrate clinical and basic neuroscience. Research areas within our department include clinical departments:
  • Developmental Neurophysiology Laboratory (through the Division of Epilepsy and Clinical Neurophysiology)
  • Electromyography (EMG) Laboratory
  • Neuromuscular Program
  • Center for Pediatric Epilepsy Research (through the Division of Epilepsy and Clinical Neurophysiology)
Basic science research primarily takes place within the laboratories of the Division of Neuroscience and in the Mental Retardation Research Center (MRRC).

Featured researchers in the Department of Neurology hold faculty appointments at Harvard Medical School.
