OBJECTIVES

Within the field of the neurosciences, the 3 main objectives of the department are :

  1. The diagnosis and treatment of illnesses involving the nervous system using the latest available technology and knowledge, and in close coloboration with other healthcare institutions both within Spain and abroad;
  2. The study of the mechanisms, pathogenesis and the treatment of neurological diseases; and
  3. The teaching of the Neurosciences at all levels, from undergraduate level to the training of residents:

These objectives are closely integrated such that the medical service offered to the patient benefits from the latest research advances, and that the future generations of doctors learn to care for their patients with a sense of optimism founded on the real hope of an effective cure.
