Brain Mapping

Brain Map, also known as Neuro Map, is used to evaluate brainwaves and communication between various regions of the brain. A window of brain activity is captured to create a visual representation for each lobe & each specific brain wave by analyzing the data.

Symptoms

The conditions in which Brain Mapping may be required are:

• Depression
• Sleep disorder
• Pain
• Stress
• Anxiety

Diagnosis

The following methods of diagnosis are essential before Brain Mapping:

• EEG
• MRI
• CT Scan
• PET Scan
• CAT Scan

Treatment

Brain mapping can be performed in any surgery involving exposure to brain parts & is known as Intra-operative brain mapping.

Under anesthesia testing of various locations on the brain is done with the help of small electrical probe. A number of locations can be tested & mapping is done of the areas where the movement is involved.

Risks

The risks involved in Brain Mapping are:

• Seizures
• Pain due to electrical stimulation
• Tingling sensation 

After Procedure

It is essential that the patient follows proper instructions given by the doctor after Brain Mapping.
