Marquette General Neuroscience Center

 

Neuroscience -


The Brain, Spinal Cord &
Nervous System

 

The brain. The spinal cord. Nerves branching throughout the human body ... the domain of the Marquette General Neuroscience Center.

 

Neurologists, neurosurgeons, neuroradiologists, and other professionals use brain wave recordings, nerve-conduction testing, and imaging technologies such as magnetic resonance imaging and spiral CT scanning. These skilled and sensitive hands diagnose and treat stroke, traumatic brain injury, brain and spinal tumors, headache, multiple sclerosis, seizures, muscular dystrophy, and other neurological disorders.

Brain surgery can involve lasers, microscopes, and radiation with the guidance of CT or MRI to pinpoint brain tumors or weaknesses in blood vessels. Electrodiagnostics are used in surgery as well.

 

Physician outreach clinics are offered in nine communities, and shared resources such as the EEG Network and proactive training in stroke care extend services of the Upper Michigan Neuroscience Center to hospitals, healthcare providers and patients throughout the U.P. In addition to traveling specialists, full-time neurologists also serve some communities.

Neuroscience Center professionals work closely with emergency medicine physicians, who are the first line of defense in the event of brain attack (stroke) or trauma to the brain or nervous system. These physicians decide whether tPA, a revoluntary clot-busting drug for stroke should be administered, and receive trauma patients from throughout the region.

The physicians and staff of the Neuroscience Center also work closely with the Marquette General Rehabilitation Center whenever needed to maximize the outcome for neuroscience patients.
