Doctors trained in brain and nervous system surgery (neurosurgeons), doctors trained in brain and nervous system conditions (neurologists) and other doctors study causes and new and improved diagnosis and treatment options for brain and nervous system (neurological) conditions. Researchers in basic and clinical science study new techniques and technical advances in neurosurgery. Research has included studies in cancers of the brain and nervous system (neuro-oncology), developmental and regenerative neurobiology, and other areas. Researchers have published thousands of articles on neuroscience and neurosurgical treatments. Doctors study past research to analyze the most appropriate treatment for people who have neurological conditions. Read more about research on the neurosurgery website.
Mayo Clinic researchers are actively involved in studies that evaluate potential treatments (clinical trials) for brain and nervous system conditions (neurological conditions). Learn more about current brain and nervous system disease clinical trials at Mayo Clinic in Minnesota.
