Established in 1983 under the direction of JP Mohr, the Stroke Center is now directed by Dr. Randolph S. Marshall and now includes 8 neurologists, 2 neuropyschologists and many more research staff. More than 500 strokes per year are seen as inpatients in the Milstein Hospital Building. All faculty members of the Stroke Division also see patients in an outpatient office setting 1 to 2 sessions per week. An on-site Doppler lab with 6 full-time technicians and a lab supervisor performs more than 5,000 duplex carotid and transcranial Doppler studies per year. Several ongoing research projects include publicly and privately funded studies on stroke and inflammation, carotid artery plaque morphology, natural history and treatment of brain AVMs, acute stroke trials, early treatment for aphasia, motor physiology in stroke patients, and a population-based epidemiology study examining risk factors in a tri-ethnic population. Extra-divisional collaboration are ongoing with our Neurological Intensive Care Unit, among other places. The Neuro-ICU is a 5-faculty, 18-bed dedicated neurological and neurosurgical unit with leading-edge, multi-modality monitoring for cerebrovascular disease and epilepsy patients. The NICU is co-directed by Dr. E. Sander Connolly and Dr. Stephan Mayer.
