Overview
One of the primary objectives of the Department of Clinical Neurosciences is the provision of co-ordinated training for both medically qualified and non-medical graduates. Because the causes and treatment of brain dysfunction and damage are so varied, and the processes that determine whether or not the brain will recover from damage are equally diverse, the research training offered is strongly cross-disciplinary. The strength of the Department is that it can offer training across the range of clinically-related neuroscience, with expertise drawn from its four constituents: Cambridge Centre for Brain Repair, Neurology Unit, Neurosurgery Unit and the Wolfson Brain Imaging Centre. Many graduate research projects span two or more of these units.
