Nurse Connection - Caring Nurses. Expert Advice.

Neurology

Neurology and neuroscience are incredibly complex fields of medicine covering disorders of the brain and nervous system. The best hospitals in the region—in conjunction with our team of neurologists, neurosurgeons, specially certified nursing and care staff—create a neurological healthcare network that delivers unique treatment solutions unparalleled in Northeast Tennessee and Southwest Virginia. To diagnose and treat these disorders, Wellmont board-certified physicians perform a variety of studies:

• Behavioral studies: why people act the way they do
• System-level studies: the nervous system, including the visual, speech or hearing functions
• Local circuit-level studies: how specific groups of nerve cells function
• Synapse-level studies: how connections are made within the brain
• Genetic-level studies: how we develop and function
• Sleep studies: research and sleep disorder diagnosis (conducted in labs throughout Wellmont Health System)

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