Neuropathology Peer-review Journals

The Neuropathology Division at NewYork-Presbyterian/Weill Cornell Medicine provides expertise regarding the pathology of brain, medulla spinal is, muscle, and nervous tissue. Second opinion and consultation services are available for the interpretation of all aspects of adult and pediatric neuropathology, including muscle and nerve biopsies, and provided by pathologists with subspecialty training in neuropathology. Neuropathologists at Weill Cornell have strong expertise within the evaluation of brain tumors, inflammatory diseases, demyelinating diseases, neurodegenerative diseases, cerebrovascular diseases, and neuromuscular diseases. Each neuropathologicalevaluation includes a comprehensive evaluation of clinical and radiological information as well.Neuropathologists are extensively trained in examining tissues of the nervous system. They examine radiologic studies alongside the tissue samples to work out whether the abnormal tissue may be a tumor or whether it shows evidence of a disease that mimics a tumor.Imaging tests like brain scans can often show doctors where these symptoms are coming from, but, in some cases, a tissue sample is important to diagnose a neurological disease.Education may be a vital component of the work of our neuropathologists, who teach medical students and pathology and neurology residents from the Weill Cornell Medicine campus, students from Weill Cornell Medicine in Qatar who rotate through the department, and Beth Israel Hospital neurology residents. They also collaborate with researchers requiring neuropathology expertise for his or her neuroscience investigations.
