Our brain and spinal cord are surrounded by fluid called cerebrospinal fluid. Lumbar puncture is a procedure in which doctor collects a sample of cerebrospinal fluid which can be tested in the lab for diseases of the brain and spinal cord.
EEG or Electroencephalogram is a test that records electrical activity of the brain and brain wave patterns.
After confirming stroke, a neurologist will prescribe a series of scans, tests, and examinations to identify the way a stroke has affected the neurological system. The standard battery of tests will include MRIs, CT scans, Ultrasound, blood draws, angiograms and echocardiograms. These tests will shed light on the severity of the stroke as well as the…
Nerves control the muscles in the body by electrical signals and this impulse make the muscles react in specific ways. NCS or Nerve Conduction Study is a non-invasive test which measures how well and how fast the nerves can send electrical signals.
EMG or Electromyography is an invasive diagnostic procedure to assess the health of muscles and the nerve cells that control them (motor neurons). EMG results can reveal nerve dysfunction, muscle dysfunction or problems with nerve-to-muscle signal transmission.
Some of the common neurological disorders are of the spinal cord, muscular dystrophy, myasthenia gravis, epilepsy, and even insomnia.
Patients suffering from brain trauma or disease that requires round the clock monitoring and care are admitted into the neuro intensive care. The neuro ICU has a team of neurological specialists and nurses that are trained and experienced in providing intensive care to patients. They are equipped to detect and treat a number of neurological disorders…
A memory clinic is a place where people with neurological disorders are treated by neurologists and psychologists to improve their ability to function on a day to day basis.

This is a science that is concerned with how the brain and the rest of the nervous system influence a person's cognitive skills and behaviours. More importantly, neuropsychologists mostly focus on how injuries or illnesses of the brain physically affect the cognitive functions and behaviours in patients.
The dedicated premium lab at Manipal Hospital is equipped with powerful diagnostic intruments. The Electrophysiology lab boasts of high precision Electroencephalogram (EEG), video telemetry and Electromyography (EMG) scans. An electroencephalogram (EEG) is a test that measures and records the electrical activity of the brain. Here, electrical sensors…
The human mind is an intricate web of emotions, thoughts and behaviours. Similarly, the brain operates through electric signals that influence our actions. This intriguing combination is what our immensely talented neurologists and neuropsychologists at Manipal Hospitals handle on a daily basis.
The Department of Neurology has a team of highly trained specialists with vast experience in the field. They take pride in providing state of the art care with a patient-centric, empathetic approach in a variety of neurologic disorders ranging from migraine to movement Disorders. Having in-house facilities for advanced neurophysiological studies, 3-Tesla MRI, PET-CT and molecular diagnostics, the department offers comprehensive care to patients with acute stroke and cerebrovascular diseases, paediatric and adult epilepsy, neuromuscular diseases, Parkinson’s disease and related disorder, Alzheimer’s disease and other disorders of cognition, multiple sclerosis and other demyelinating disorders.
