UCL Institute of Neurology
The UCL Institute of Neurology, Queen Square, was established in 1950 and merged with University College London in 1997. The Institute is closely associated in its work with the National Hospital for Neurology & Neurosurgery, University College London Hospitals' NHS Foundation Trust, and in combination they form a national and international centre at Queen Square for teaching, training and research in neurology and allied clinical and basic neurosciences.
Continuing the
record of exceptional achievement in previous Research Assessments (RAE), the IoN performed very strongly in the 2008 RAE. Almost 100 FTE
staff were submitted for evaluation, including a number of outstanding
early career researchers. Overall 70% of our research was deemed to be
internationally competitive or world leading. Three areas of research
in particular were identified as world-leading: Cognitive neuroscience
& human brain imaging, Inherited diseases & molecular, cellular
and genetic neuroscience, Neurodegenerative disease. Submitted papers
were very highly cited, with an average citation rate of 40 per paper.
UCL Neuroscience is currently rated second in the world by ISI
Essential Science Indicators, and four of the top twelve most highly
cited authors working worldwide in neuroscience and behaviour are based
at the IoN.....
