Neuroscience
Renowned Brain, Spine and Neuromuscular Care Center
RWJBarnabas Health provides comprehensive care for a full spectrum of neurological
disorders affecting adults and children. Neuroscience continues to be
a dynamic field of study and we are constantly learning more and more
about how our brains work and what can be done for individuals who suffer
from neurological issues.
Our outstanding team of nationally and internationally respected neurologists,
neurosurgeons and neuropsychologists is advancing the diagnosis and treatment
of complex conditions of the brain and nervous system. Our neurosurgeons
are among the most experienced in New Jersey and use leading-edge, minimally
invasive and noninvasive surgical options whenever possible to help patients
regain mobility and return to the regular activities of their daily lives.
From state-designated comprehensive stroke centers, to sophisticated movement
disorder programs, Level 4 epilepsy centers in Livingston and New Brunswick,
and the most advanced care for brain tumor treatment and management, our
clinicians’ research has yielded a variety of innovative techniques
that distinguish our system as a destination for the treatment of a broad
range of brain, spine and neuromuscular disorders.
Backed by the full resources of one of the state’s most comprehensive
health care systems, the RWJBarnabas Health neuroscience program offers
the latest diagnostic technologies, innovative therapies and patient resources
to ensure precise, effective treatments with a focus on the individual.
You can be confident about placing your trust in a program that has earned
national recognition and is committed to delivering innovative, comprehensive
and compassionate care to children and adults.
Together, we’re providing world-class treatment without the need
to travel a world away.

Our neuroscience institutes can address a broad range of different brain,
spine and neuromuscular issues for our patients. From the latest diagnostic
technologies to innovative therapies and caring patient resources, we
are ready to ensure incisive, effective treatments and comprehensive quality
of life solutions.
Just some of our neuroscience capabilities and resources include:
Brain mapping
Advanced brain tumor treatments
Gamma knife radiosurgery
Clinical trials
Interdisciplinary spine programs
Stroke and transient ischemic attack treatment
ALS/muscular dystrophy center
Level 4 Epilepsy Center
Video EEG program
Pediatric
and geriatric care
Rehabilitative care
An Innovative Leader Advancing State-of-the-Art Care
Using leading-edge technology, our neurosurgeons and neurologists improve
accuracy and efficiency, make our procedures less risky and less painful
than conventional surgery, and shorten recovery time. Some of the advanced
technologies we use include:
Focused ultrasound.
This technology uses focused sound waves to precisely target and treat
the specific areas of the brain responsible for tremors, providing relief
without the need for traditional brain surgery. Used to treat
essential tremor
.
Gamma knife radiosurgery technology.
Gamma Knife is a non-surgical, non-invasive stereotactic radiosurgery
device that allows our neurologists to pinpoint the damaged areas of the
brain with extreme accuracy and deliver a high dose of radiation to destroy
the damaged cells.
The ClearPoint Navigation System
.
This system is designed to provide highly accurate guidance for the placement
and operation of instruments or devices during neurological surgery and
procedures using 3D magnetic resonance imaging. At Robert Wood Johnson
University Hospital, an RWJBarnabas Health facility, ClearPoint is used
in conjunction with New Jersey’s only intraoperative MRI –
an MRI that is located inside of the operating suite - which reduces the
length of the surgery and eliminates the need to move the patient during
the surgery.
The ROSA ONE Brain robotic system.
The ROSA robotic platform assists surgeons in planning and performing
complex yet minimally invasive neurosurgical procedures, ranging from
epilepsy surgery and functional neurosurgery to endoscopy.
Extended reality (XR) platform for planning of cranial and spine surgeries.
We offer patients and caregivers the ability to view their condition and
its treatment with a neurosurgeon using 3-D virtual imaging. This helps
patients understand and prepare for neurosurgery to address brain tumors,
epilepsy and spine conditions. It also enhances the way the neurosurgical
team prepares for complex procedures and brings immersive 3D visualization
directly into the operating room to enhance precision and shorten surgical times.
Expert Neurological Care
Whether you or a loved one is suffering from a
brain tumor
,
Alzheimer's
,
dementia
,
stroke
, spasticity,
dystonia
, or any other significant neurological issue, we are here to help. Not
only are our facilities among the state's best neuroscience institutes,
but our practices are on par with larger, leading academic medical centers
from around the world, as well. For more information on our neuroscience
institutes and our array of innovative, minimally invasive therapies or
treatments, contact us today.
