| Introduction | The Department of Neurology, School of Medicine, Kyungpook National University was founded by Chung-Kyu Suh, MD, PhD, in early 1990s. The department grew from one faculty member in that era to seven outstanding faculty members in present times. The vision of our department is to be the marvelous department by conducting numerous clinical and basic neuroscience research, and teaching and training future national leaders in neurology and neuroscience. The department is also the home of neurology residency training program and is associated with two affiliated teaching tertiary hospitals. Following sub-specialties are major subjects of research by the faculty members of our department. Due to vigorous research activities with diverse national and international collaborators, our department published many SCI/SCIE articles to date, and many of our faculty members play important role in the national and international neurology societies including editorial board members in their field. ● Epilepsy: psychobehavioral problems in epilepsy patients ● Neurodegenerative diseases (e.g., dementia, Parkinson’s disease): CSF and neuroimaging biomarkers in various neurodegenerative disorders ● Cerebrovascular disease: imaging biomarkers of acute ischemic stroke including collateral circulation, neurointerventional stroke management ● Peripheral nerve and muscle disease: genetic and immune-mediated neuromuscular disease ● Headache: harmful effects of pyschobehavioral problems in migraine ● Sleep medicine |
