Welcome to the Nuffield Department of Clinical Neurosciences (NDCN), one of the World's leading centres for research and treatment in disorders of the nervous system.
Work with us
This is a dynamic and friendly place to work, with a thriving and collaborative research culture, active staff and student societies, and significant opportunities for personal and professional development.
study with us
As well as contributing to the teaching of medical students, we offer a DPhil in Clinical Neurosciences, an Online Programme in Sleep Medicine, and various short courses.
Our Six Divisions
Preventing Stroke and Dementia
We increase understanding of the causes of cerebrovascular disease and improve the prevention of stroke and vascular dementia in routine clinical practice.
Division of Clinical Neurology
© Nicholas Irving
We study the mechanisms underlying brain diseases such as Parkinson's and Motor Neuron Disease in order to treat these conditions effectively.
Brain Network Dynamics
We investigate the moment-to-moment interactions between nerve cells that are critical for brain functions, with a focus on movement and memory.
Division of Anaesthetics
We maintain and develop research programmes in pain and consciousness, respiration and hypoxia, intensive care, simulation and human factors training.
laboratory of ophthalmology
We pursue scientific and clinical research into a range of areas related to vision, the eye and circadian neuroscience.
Integrative neuroimaging
We bridge the gap between laboratory neuroscience and human health, by carrying out multi-scale studies from animal models through to human populations.
