Neurology, Child Development & Neuroscience (Neuro)

The Division of Neurology and Child Development consists of 27 full-time physician faculty, 15 neurology or neurodevelopmental disability residents, two research PhD faculty members with independent basic science lab programs, 10 nurse practitioners/physician assistants, 15 nurses, 14 EMU nurses, 25 EEG technicians, 6 secretaries, 2 schedulers, a social worker, a psychologist, a LCSW Behavioral Health Specialist, a research nurse, a residency coordinator and a division manager who all take responsibility for the journey we share.   

Our strength comes from a culture of teamwork.  Our values include total commitment to patient care, love of the intellectual community whether learning or teaching, scholarship, and respect for our patients, students, colleagues, and each other.    

Discover, Diagnose, and Cure 

The Children’s Neuroscience Institute (CNI) is a unique constellation of the brightest and most highly creative professionals with interest and passion in experimental and clinical research with the overarching goals of developing healthy brains and minds in children across all age groups. 

Topic-wise, the CNI encompasses and facilitates interdisciplinary fundamental and applied paradigm-shifting research. This research is aimed at the development of innovative concepts, methodologies, and approaches enabling breakthrough exploratory studies that lead to profound mechanistic understanding of normal neuro-development, the identification of aberrant pathogenic pathways of neurological diseases, and the discovery of personalized treatment strategies for neurologically ill and injured children. 

The CNI Vision: Become a “conceptual crystallization center," an incubator for pioneering technologies and innovative studies; serving as the world’s premier destination for pediatric neuroscience research, education, and patient care.
