Igniting Tomorrow’s Advances in Brain Health Today
The USC Department of Neurology combines breadth and depth in tightly connected research, education and care. Residents and fellows serve diverse patients facing a wide array of disorders. The physician-scientists they learn from bring compassion and expertise to even the most complex patient, and explore new possibilities for fighting conditions ranging from headache to Alzheimer’s disease.
Research
Our faculty ignite breakthroughs in care for conditions such as Alzheimer’s disease, epilepsy, stroke, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s disease and headache. Working collaboratively, we pursue discovery and innovation, from immunotherapy to brain-machine interfaces, and move advances to patients as quickly as possible.

Training & Education
Our enduring philosophy centers on the creation of outstanding clinical neurologists through a rigorous residency-training program. We provide an immersive experience where medical professionals not only acquire extensive knowledge but also cultivate the skills and insights essential for success in the ever-evolving field of neurology.
Explore our expansive opportunities further with our nine specialized fellowships. These fellowships offer unique pathways for advanced training, allowing individuals to specialize in specific areas of neurology.
Patient Care
Receive care from the same physicians who blaze new paths in neurology research. USC is a recognized hub for clinical excellence in Alzheimer’s, ALS, epilepsy, stroke,headache and movement disorders. Our experts embrace teamwork across disciplines and offer a robust slate of clinical trials testing new therapies.

Message from the Chair
Our commitment to patients drives us to accelerate the pace of progress in neurology. Our commitment to one another calls for us to promote an environment where faculty, trainees and students thrive

Centers & Institutes
It takes interdisciplinary partnership to cultivate leaps in care and research to reduce the burden on humankind of neurologic disorders such as Alzheimer’s disease.
Support Us
Giving today makes a difference for patients of tomorrow. You can help equip future physician-scientists to enhance neurologic care. Faculty and instrumentation support offers scientists the freedom to pursue new research ideas for defeating Alzheimer’s and other neurological diseases.
