Department of Neurology
Neurology is a branch of medicine dealing with disorders of the nervous system. Neurologists treat conditions that affect the nervous system, which includes the brain, spine and nerves. Neurological diseases can include headaches, epilepsy, stroke, movement disorders, Parkinson’s disease, Alzheimer’s disease and many others.
Diagnostic Tests for Neurological Disorders:
EEG
An electroencephalogram (EEG) is a test that detects electrical activity in your brain using small, metal discs (electrodes) attached to your scalp. EEGs are done to diagnose and monitor seizure disorders.
EMG
Electromyography (EMG) is a diagnostic procedure to assess the health of muscles and the nerve cells.
NCV
Nerve Conduction Velocity (NCV) tests measure the electrical activity of muscles and nerves.
VEP
A visual evoked potential or visual evoked response (VEP or VER) is a test that measures the integrity of the optical pathway from your eyes to the occipital lobe of your brain. It is used to determine if there is any damage to this pathway.
BAER
Brainstem auditory evoked response (BAER) is a test to measure the brain wave activity that occurs in response to clicks or certain tones. The machine will record the electrical response of the auditory nerve to the clicking sound.
