He further stated that our fellowship programs also include advanced features such as epilepsy and functional neurosurgery, scull base and cerebrovascular surgery, children’s neurosurgery and spine surgery. Following the tradition of our founders, our department has been unique in the sense that it has basic science research facilities including connectomics, intracellular-electrophiziology and genomics. We publish a large number of papers every year in both clinical and basic science research, which is probably one of the few such departments in the world.
