The departments of General and Stereotaxic Neurosurgery, Neurology, Neuroradiology, and Neuropathology are all united in one building complex. Further subspecialties are the Center for Presurgical Epilepsy Evaluation and the Interdisciplinary Pain Center. The Neurocenter is supported by numerous neuroscientific workgroups that ensure a closer cooperation between basic research and the University Medical Center Freiburg.
Here at the Neurocenter we offer extensive experience in the thrombolysis in acute stroke, novel immunomodulation inflammatory diseases (e.g. MS) and research-based rehabilitations, as well as in the fields of targeted biopsy, the application of radiosurgical procedures, and deep brain stimulation. A new focus area has been developed by introducing neurobiological restorative procedures with cell and tissue transplantation. |
