The Penn State Clinical Neuroscience Center of Excellence (COE) fosters collaboration among the neuroscience-related departments and divisions within Penn State Hershey Medical Center. Its mission is to assure excellence in the care of patients with neurological and neurobehavioral diseases and disorders, excellence in teaching in the clinical neurosciences and excellence in translational and clinical neuroscience research.
Excellence in the Care of Patients with Neurological and Neurobehavioral Diseases and Disorders
The Penn State Clinical Neuroscience COE offers the most progressive medical and surgical treatments for neurological, neurosurgical and neurobehavioral diseases and disorders available anywhere.
Patients can stay close to home and still see some of the nation's top doctors for accurate diagnosis of brain tumors, Parkinson's disease, epilepsy, ALS, and all other brain, spine and nerve disorders.

Excellence in Teaching in the Clinical Neurosciences
The Penn State Clinical Neuroscience COE offers unique educational opportunities to students studying at Penn State College of Medicine at Penn State Hershey Medical Center. These include clinical rotations on the Neurology, Neurosurgery and Psychiatry services as well as opportunities for basic, translational and clinical neuroscience research projects in these departments.
Excellence in Translational and Clinical Neuroscience Research
The Penn State Clinical Neuroscience COE fosters cutting edge research. Laboratory investigations include brain tumor biology and treatment, drug delivery to the brain, neurodegenerative diseases and movement disorders, epileptogenesis and other neurobehavioral disorders, restless leg syndrome and neural engineering. We also have active translational research programs in neural imaging, radiosurgery, brain tumor treatment, treatment of epilepsy, neurodegenerative disease and movement disorders, neurocognitive disorders and restless leg syndrome. We are also conducting numerous investigator initiated and industry sponsored clinical trails in all areas of neurological and neurobehavioral therapy.
