Welcome from the Chair
The Ohio State University Department of Neurology is enjoying tremendous growth. As a program prioritized by the university, we are well on our way to doubling our faculty, and we continue to expand an innovative and rigorous research portfolio. Dedicated to multidisciplinary collaboration, our goal is to accurately diagnose, treat and improve the lives of individuals with neurological diseases, while increasing our understanding of the causes of neurological disease and discovering more effective treatments. An equally important mission is to educate and foster the careers of the next generation of neurologists and translational neuroscientists.Benjamin Segal, MD
