CLINICAL APPROACH IN NEUROSCIENCE

 CLINICAL NEUROSCIENCE DIVISION (NEUR)

54126

The Clinical Neurosciences division of the IoNS [NEUR] is composed of eight research groups from Cliniques Univer­sitaires UCL Saint-Luc and the CHU Mont-Godinne UCL. Research is closely interconnected with the clinical activities and utilizes a broad technological repertoire.
Our division aims at understanding clinical, physiopathological, biochimical, cognitive and neuropharmacological aspects of various nervous diseases:
  • Neurological diseases: stroke (acute management, brain plasticity, non-invasive brain stimulation), inflammatory diseases (in relation with the CSF analysis), neuromuscular disorders, Parkinson’s disease (deep brain stimula­tion), Alzheimer’s disease (early diagnosis by cognitive evaluation and biomarkers), refractory epilepsy, chronic pain, childhood neurometabolic disorders as well as the history of neurology.
  • Neuro-otology (cochlear implant induced plasticity, tinnitus) and the chemosensitive platform (neurophysio­logy, imaging, psychophysics)
  • Neurosurgical aspects in neurooncology, neurovascular disorders, epilepsy surgery (including invasive EEG)
  • Eye movement, oculomotor as well as neurosensory disorders
  • Emotional, visual and musical recognition in various psychiatric disorders: schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, alcohol dependency.
  • The neuroimaging group occupies a central position to many research projects including: brain perfusion imaging, peroperatory MRI in neuro-oncology, functional MRI, thermography, cerebral pathophysiology of stroke, etc.
