Stony Brook is a world leader in neuroscience research. There are over 70 laboratories actively pursuing neurobiology, molecular neurobiology, behavioral neuroscience, and clinical neuroscience research.

Neurology residents have elective time that can be spent in any research laboratory at the University. Many residents interested in research continue to work with laboratories while on regular rotations. Residents are encouraged to report their research at national neurology meetings and at the annual meeting of the Society for Neuroscience.

We are particularly proud of the number of former residents who have gone into academic medicine. Roughly one third of our graduates now hold full-time academic appointments.
