Why Choose UCLA Health for Neuroscience Care

At UCLA Health, we’re answering impossible questions through world-class neuroscience, research and advanced clinical care. Our teams integrate top-tier clinical programs with NIH-funded research, advanced neurotechnology and highly specialized expertise. We translate science into care at a scale and depth that creates meaningful impact for patients with complex neurological disease.

At UCLA Health, you’ll find:

Unmatched research strength that accelerates discovery: Our neuroscience programs have ranked 1st or 2nd in NIH funding every year since 2002, a level of support that drives continuous breakthroughs in neural repair, neurodegeneration, stroke recovery and brain tumor innovation.

Advanced technology and real-time diagnostics not available elsewhere: Our 26-bed neurological ICU is the only neuro ICU in the world with on-site sophisticated diagnostic technology, allowing continuous monitoring for ischemic stroke, traumatic brain injury (TBI) and cerebral hemorrhage in patients too unstable to transport.

Breakthrough surgical and minimally invasive techniques: Our neurosurgeons pioneer new approaches, including minimally invasive tumor resections that improve visualization, expand access to complex regions and increase the likelihood of complete tumor removal.

Clinical research that shapes the future of care: We lead high-impact clinical trials and translational studies, from first-in-human interventions to novel molecular and immunotherapy strategies for aggressive brain tumors.

A commitment to training the next generation: As faculty at the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA, our clinicians teach, publish research and lead national courses, ensuring continuous adoption of emerging evidence and best practices.
