Jeffrey M. Chung

Jeffrey M. Chung, MD, FAAN is an Associate Professor of Neurology at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center. He serves as Director of both the Epilepsy Program and the Neurophysiology Laboratory since 2013. His clinical practice focuses on epilepsy and neurophysiology, with 26 years of experience in neurology and clinical neurophysiology.

• Northwestern University Medical School (1999) - MD
• Evanston Hospital (2000) - Internship
• UCLA (2003) - Residency
• UCLA (2005) - Fellowship

Dr. Chung's research explores epilepsy mechanisms, neural signal processing, multi-modal probabilistic mapping for surgical outcomes, and device-oriented therapies. His recent publications focus on theta phase precession in memory, single-neuron correlates of seizures, and neuroimaging in post-stroke conditions. He leads clinical trials on novel anti-seizure agents and neuromodulation techniques.
