Neurology & Neurosurgery Editorial Office

The Editorial Office in the Department of Neurosurgery was created to support the teaching mission of the surgeons here at the Medical College of Georgia at AU. All the artwork and animation that you see here was created here at the Department of Neurosurgery by medical illustrators in our office.

This page can be a resource for Augusta University's neurosurgeons and neurosurgical residents to provide quick access to medical illustration/animation for use in their in-house and national lectures, presentations, and conferences. It also serves as a public venue for previously-published illustrations.
