It is the central organ of the human nervous system, together with the spinal cord. Typically, it is made of multiple specialized regions that work together to ensure the proper functioning of the body. Some of these areas and their functions include:
Cortex: This is the outermost layer of brain cells that is responsible for thought processes and voluntary movements.
Brain stem: The brain stem is located at the back of the brain and continuous with the spinal cord.
The cerebellum: This section forms the back and the base of the brain and is responsible for balance and coordination.
The basal ganglia: These are a group of structures located at the center of the brain that are responsible for coordinating messages between several parts of the brain.
Additionally, the brain is separated into multiple lobes that are responsible for various functions, these include:
Frontal lobe: Responsible for problem-solving, motor function and judgment.
Parietal lobe: Responsible for managing sensation, body posture, and handwriting.
Temporal lobe: Responsible for memory and hearing.
Occipital lobes: This is the brain’s visual processing system.
Types of brain disorders that require brain treatment
Generally, brain disorders can affect anyone, but they are more common in genetically predisposed individuals. Some of these disorders include:
Alzheimer’s disease
Dementia
Epilepsy and other seizure disorders
Brain tumor
Stroke
Migraines
Traumatic brain injury
Parkinson’s disease
Brain abscess
Cerebral edema
Subdural hematoma
Brain aneurysm
Brain trauma
Brain treatment in Dubai
The German Neuroscience Center (GNC) is the leading provider of comprehensive healthcare in brain treatment in Dubai. At GNC, our neurology doctors in Dubai are internationally renowned experts who provide a range of healthcare services as well as diagnostic options for brain diseases. Some of our diagnostic services include:
Electroencephalography (EEG)
This examination procedure involves monitoring brain activity using electrodes that are placed on the skin around the head.
Dementia screening
Dementia screening is used to detect the early onset of dementia and Alzheimer’s following uncommon non-specific memory disorders or obliviousness as well as genetic disposition due to family history.
Stroke risk analysis
This examination procedure involves the use of ultrasound and risk calculation. Ultrasound is used to examine blood flow and blood vessels within the brain and those leading to the brain. Afterward, the results from the ultrasound are used to estimate the risk of a stroke within a 10-year or lifetime baseline to determine the right treatment and necessary lifestyle changes.
Nerve conduction velocity (NCV)
This diagnostic procedure is used to determine the speed of conduction of electrical impulses within the nerves.
Electromyography (EMG)
EMG is used for identifying the electrical activity within the muscles.
Ultrasonography tests
Ultrasonography diagnostic examinations are non-invasive ultrasound procedures that are used to examine blood circulation and blood vessels. There are various types of ultrasonography procedures, these include:
Extracranial Doppler (ECD)
Transcranial Doppler (TCD)
Duplex Sonography
Evoked Potentials
Evoked potential examinations are used to determine the electrical activity within the brain in response to external stimulation such as light, sound, touch, or sight. We offer various types of evoked potential examinations, including:
Magnetic Evoked potentials (MEP)
Visually evoked potential (VEP)
Somato-sensitive evoked potentials (SSEP)
Acoustically evoked potentials (AEP)
Sympathetic skin responses (SSR)
SSR examinations are used to detect functional impairments of sympathetic fibers in peripheral nerves from the brain to other parts of the body.
Electronystagmography (ENG)
ENG examinations are used to diagnose involuntary movements caused by nystagmus. Additionally, ENG is used to diagnose dizziness, vertigo, and balance dysfunction.
