This paper provides a brief 15-year history of the Department of Neurology, Yamaguchi Unibersity School of Medicine. The Department began as the Division of Neurology, Yamaguchi University Hospital, in 1988, and was recognized as the Department of Neurology in 1933. Althouth the official staffs numbered no more than 3, physicians who wanted to become neurologists came together , and the total number of Neurosurgery joined together to from the Department of Clinical Neurosience based on a recoganization of the departments of Yamaguchi University School of Medicine. For the past 15years, my colleagues and I have devoted ourselves to medical treatment and clinical research for both outpatients and inpatients. Sixteen physicians have obtained a doctorate and 19 have been promoted to clarify their pathogenesis and symptomatology. This contributed much to recognition of corticobasal degeneration and progressive supranuclear palsy as ”special diseases″ by the National Health Insurance in 2003.
