Neuroscience

The field of neuroscience is dedicated to the research and treatment of a variety of disorders in the brain and nervous system. Wellmont Health System’s board-certified physicians can perform a variety of studies to better diagnose and treat these disorders.

Behavioral studies explore the causes as to why people act the way they do

System level studies are focused on the different aspects of the nervous system, including the visual, speech or hearing functions

Local circuit level studies help determine how specific groups of nerve cells function

Synapse level studies explore how connections are made within the brain

Genetic level studies are focused on the basic building blocks of how we develop and function

Sleep studies research and diagnose sleep disorders, which can be treated in sleep labs throughout Wellmont Health System

Wellmont Health System is also an active contributor to ongoing research in the field of neuroscience, helping pave the way to tomorrow’s neurological treatment solutions
