Research Opportunities and Requirements 
Residents have one month of rotation time to pursue research projects in neuroscience. Every resident is strongly encouraged to submit a manuscript prior to graduation. The New Jersey Neuroscience Institute at JFK Medical Center is currently conducting a range of research projects, including clinical trials. These trials include multiple trials in stroke (neuroprotectants, intraarterial +PA, antioxidants), epilepsy (new drugs, vagal nerve stimulators), brain tumors (Phase II and III studies in gliomas, quality of life studies), movement disorders (RLS and Parkinson's disease), and other ongoing studies. Basic research is conducted in molecular gene expression in epilepsy, ocular-motor physiology, pupillomotor physiology, vestibular physiology, functional MRI and signal analysis applied to EEG.
