The term neurology deals with the medical study of disorders of nervous system (central and peripheral as well as autonomous and somatic). The nervous system controls all the activity of human body which is complex in nature. A neurologist is a doctor who treats the patient with neural disorders and thereby diagnosing the cause of the disorder. The medical study involves various stages from which the cause is identified to proper medication is provided.
Neuroscience can be described as a scientific study of human nervous system which covers all the disciplines of neural system. The perfect organization of nerve cells to functional circuits(neural networks) which helps in communication is dealt by the study of neurobiology. The functioning of brain and spinal cord is obtained through the process of imaging modalities which is termed as brain mapping.
Physical aspects of neurology defines the changes developed in the physical and mental state of a patient who has some sort of neurological disorders such as Parkinson’s disease , autism and more, which could disturb his/her intellectual health.
It is admirable to discuss about the interaction between our central nervous system and immune system which is very much complex by itself. The brain itself creates an immune privilege to protect its own tissue from the damage caused as an effect of eliminating the threat. The protection of sensitive tissue of brain is done by microglia(sentinels) without perturbing its nerve-cell connections and pathways. The dis-regulation of immune system and nervous system results in lifelong disorders which are classified under neuro immune disorders.
Its a branch of medicine that deals with the treatment of neural disorders which helps the patient to recover faster from the prevailing serious medical condition. The medicines could develop side effects depending on patients medical condition. Some could develop medical dependence(addiction) as well as withdrawal(sudden stop) symptoms if they are contentiously using the medicine. The patient could take over dosage of medicines in certain neural condition to achieve certain effects which could lead him/her to depression.
The rehabilitation process describes how a neuropatient had recovered from their existing state to a normal life. It also states the types of techniques used for the process of rehabilitation such as virtual reality simulations for locomotor interface for Parkinson’s disease patients. Structural robots assists the spine injured patients for better recovery, speech therapy and physiotherapy are generally provided type of rehabilitation process.
A branch of neuro treatment which specially focuses on functions of nervous system that affects vision. As vision is one of the primary area in human health it has been encouraged the doctors, scientists to work on this field to develop the recent advancements in neuro optometry. The vision can be damaged due to different types of malfunctions to nerves to the eyes and brain(opticneuritis, opticneuropathy, papilledema, braintumors or strokes).The mode of vision can be altered with proper diagnose methods.
It will be glad to share the information about neuropsychiatry as it is one of the trending topics in the field of neurology. This situation can be literally described as emotional disturbance due to disturbed brain malfunction. This could lead to mental disorders and at times memory loss which could be a symptom of dementia , Alzheimer's disease etc…A degenerative type of disorder which affects the motor.
Neuro oncology is a field which covers the study of spinal neoplasm and brain which could be dangerous if left untreated. It also renders the field of brain stem tumors, spine metastasis etc… Chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy occurs in 90% of patients receiving neurotoxic chemotherapy hence the pain management is one of the crucial process in neuro oncology.
Let’s speak about our daily activities, how they are managed? How they are processed? And the answer lies in the complex functioning of brain. Yes the study which deals with the structure and functioning of brain is mentioned above. Neuro psychology seeks to discover how the brain correlates with the mind which could result in change of emotion, behaviour of an individual. Neuro-psychological tests are specially done to discover the psychological functions of certain parts of brain. It can be also used to measure the intelligence and memory. Neuropsychological tests plays an important role in the process of conducting neuropsychological assessment, along with personal, interpersonal and contextual factors. Cognitive neuropsychology relates the functioning of brain to the various psychological process and are responsible for our cognitive abilities.
A specialized branch of neuromedicine which deals with the neurological conditions of neonates, infants and children is known as Paediatricneurology. Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder(ADHD) and epilepsy can have adverse effects on a child's behaviour and social development. Children with epilepsy and ADHD are likely to be at higher risk for more negative outcomes in school and in terms of quality of life compared with children with epilepsy alone . Autism spectrum disorders correlates group of developmental disorders such as symptoms, levels of disability and other social problems.
The nervous system contains peripheral nerves which are able to communicate each other through the process of electrical impulses and chemical synapses. When this process of communication is damaged or disrupted the condition is referred to as neuropathy. Multiple damage of peripheral nerves is known as poly neuropathy while mono neuropathy describes the damage of a single nerve. Aging , consumption of alcohol , usage of certain drugs, cancers, tumors could lead to this situation, some may inherit it through genes. It could also lead to several complications on human health such as loss of sensation , numbness , muscle atrophy.
The most complex part of medical surgery which are done by the most skilled surgeons on earth defines the art of Neurosurgery. A neurosurgeon does this with his utmost care and skills any defect happened cannot be replaced. Many methods of surgery are present and they chooses the perfect method. Micro surgery is the most adopted process of surgery where a neurosurgeon uses a microscope for the surgical process. Radio surgical methods describes the process of precise application of focused radiation on the target area predetermined by imaging techniques. Neuro anaesthesia is mainly administrated for patients who are undergoing neurosurgery, hence it will be having adverse effects on brain and spinal cord continuous monitoring is preferred during the entire process. Any type of injury to the spine can be described as spinal cord trauma which could deadly dangerous. Brain haemorrhage relates to stroke where the artery bursts and kills the cells in the brain which also cause localized bleeding. Deep Brain Stimulation Surgery(DBS) is mainly performed for patients suffering from Parkinson’s disease, two electrodes are placed inside the brain as the patient remains awake during the surgery. A neurostimulator deliver electrical impulses to the electrodes to decrease the symptoms of the disease.
A main part of medical treatment care which inhibits the most serious cases of neural disorder. The medical care is provided with proper care without any mistakes from the care team which includes nurses , neurologists , neurosurgeons etc…Continuous monitoring is done by most advanced monitoring systems and basic life supporting equipments. Secondary brain injuries require more concern as changes may evolve suddenly over hours or to days. Coma patients can recover from their existing state with some sudden response and require special care at times . Neuro emergencies include sudden stroke , brain injury , spine injury which have to be treated immediately.
Electro encephalogram (EEG) is the electrical activity of the brain which are obtained as different types of EEG wave forms(alpha, beta, gamma, theta). These waveforms differs for various activities such as sleeping, pain, stress etc….. sleep disorders are mainly diagnosed by this method . Encephalitis is a disorder which causes an inflammation in brain which could also result in memory problems and can be found out by EEG patterns.
Examination of nervous system mainly concentrates on its responses to a stimuli . The deeper part of examination is done by various types of imaging process as well as radiological process. As the cerebral blood flow and neuronal activation are coupled Functional magnetic resonance imaging technique can be used to detect brain activities . In case of brain injuries computed axial tomography can be used to detect the abnormalities . Cranial ultrasound can be used for babies to detect the problems regarding brain and premature birth and for adults it can be performed when the skull is opened for surgery as ultrasound cannot pass through bones. Positron emission tomography can detect early stages of alzheimer’s disease and Parkinson’s disease. The neuromagnetic signals generated by the brain are extremely small which can be detected by the SQUID (superconducting quantum interference device) device and can amplify magnetic fields generated by neurons a few centimetres away from the sensors . MEG provides timing as well as spatial information about brain activity.
The principles of neural activity is introduced in robots for better goals. The system includes biological neural connection networks which are inspired from actual nervous system. Neurorobotics is that branch of neuroscience with robotics, which deals with the study and application of science and technology of embodied autonomous neural systems like brain-inspired algorithms. locomotion and motor control mechanisms are inspired directly from action of human motor system while memory revolves around the patterns. Biological robots are specially designed to replace the amputated organs which could perform the same function as the original organ. Human-robot interface is basically the interaction between human and robot which includes artificial intelligence, language understanding.
Medical science always witness its rapid advancement directly which helps for a better tomorrow. Investigations and research are continuously been done in the field of neuroscience. Among them neurosurgery adopts most the advanced techniques for surgical process. Surgeries done under local anaesthesia for brain tumors such as awake craniotomy enables the surgeon to perform the surgery more accurately. The objective of precision medicine is to deliver right treatment to right person at right time which decreases the effects neuro disorders.
