The department of clinical neurosciences is composed of the divisions of neurology, neurosurgery, neurorehabilitation, ophthalmology and ENT (ear-nose-throat). Research activities are rich and manifold. Most are in connection with the treated diseases, such as, epilepsy, brain tumors, and difficulties of hearing, vision, memory, or movement. There are multiple collaborations with basic neurosciences and the research groups newly installed at Campus Biotech.
