Stroke and TIA’s
Stroke
A stroke occurs when blood flow to part of the brain is completely blocked or severely reduced, causing brain cells to die.
Transient Ischemic Attack (TIA)
A TIA, often called a “mini-stroke,” is a brief blockage of blood flow to the brain that resolves within minutes to hours, and does not cause permanent brain damage.
At Brisbane Neurology, the following doctors have a special interest in the diagnosis and treatment of Stroke and TIA’s:

Neuromuscular Conditions
Neuromuscular conditions refer to a group of disorders that affect the muscles and the nerves that control them. These conditions disrupt communication between nerves and muscles, leading to muscle twitching, weakness, wasting, cramps, or paralysis. Swallow, breathing and speaking can be affected.
At Brisbane Neurology, we offer both electromyography (EMG) and nerve conduction studies (NCS) to support the diagnosis and treatment of neuromuscular conditions.

Neuropsychiatric disorders
Neuropsychiatric disorders are a group of conditions that affect brain function, leading to problems with cognition, mood, behavior, and motor skills. These disorders often sit at the intersection of neurology and psychiatry because they have biological roots in the brain but also significantly impact mental health. Common examples include: bipolar disorder, major depressive disorder, depression, schizophrenia, dementias, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) and autoimmune encephalitis.
Neuropsychiatric disorders are diagnosed and treated by neuropsychiatrists, who are psychiatrists with a sub-specialty in neuropsychiatry.
