The Frank A. & Gwladys H. Elliott Lecture in Behavioral Neurology
This annual lectureship, organized by the Mahoney Institute of Neurological Sciences and the Department of Neurology at the University of Pennsylvania, was established by Frank A. Elliott, MD. Dr. Elliott founded the department of neurology at Pennsylvania Hospital in 1959. While his research and clinical work focused primarily upon stroke and stroke prevention, throughout his career he maintained an interest in behavioral neurology. He published and spoke on topics related to the neural basis of behavior, including work on the biological roots of violence. Dr. Elliott died May 28th, 2003 at the age of 92.
The Elliott Lecture in Behavioral Neurology is held each Spring as a part of the Department of Neurology's Grand Rounds program.
