Dedicated to understanding the nervous system through research and how it may affect clinical care has expressed Johns Hopkins Neurology and Neurosurgery from the beginning.
Our team quickly became leaders and research on how the brain reacts to injury and innovation as well as the use of X -rays to guide brain surgery.

Half - a decade later, when neurologists and neurosurgeons Johns Hopkins found that stroke, brain disorders and injuries of the nervous system, as different problems now, only specialized intensive care can save patients, its founder’s first dedicated neurological intensive care unit (CCU) in the country.
Since then, we are pleased that our program is recognized by his peers worldwide and ranked # 1 in diseases and surgery of the U.S. News & World Report.
