Neurology Research Overview

At UNM, we value research and the direct impact it can have for our patients. Most faculty in the UNM Department of Neurology are actively engaged in clinical or basic science research. Our facilities provide the latest in research equipment and technology.

Collaborative Research

Integration of human studies in the neurology clinical area provides a unique environment for collaborative, translational research that results in program project-level grants. Grants and funding support the work of researchers and clinicians whose work contributes to improving lives in the communities we serve.

Facilities and Resources

The Neuroscience Research Facility is located in Domenici Hall. Domenici Hall houses the Centers of Biomedical Research Excellence (COBRE) grant at the BRaIN center.

Biomedical Research and Integrative NeuroImaging Center (BRaIN) Imaging Center

The BRaIN Imaging Center is a multimodal integrative neuroimaging facility for CNS pathophysiology research at the UNM Health Sciences Center. The BRaIN center has state-of-the-art nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), magnetoencephalography (MEG), electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR), and optical imaging available to neuroscience researchers.

Brain and Behavioral Health Institute

The BBHI contributes to improved health for those suffering from brain and behavioral disorders. The institute brings together researchers, clinicians and educators to innovate treatments for patients and families affected by brain and behavioral health illnesses.

Human Imaging Research Core (HIRC)

The HIRC provides administrative support for research conducted on clinical magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scanners at the UNM Outpatient Surgery and Imaging Services (OSIS) center and at UNM Hospital.
