When the above electrical signal reaches the end of an axon, it stimulates small vesicles in the cell. These vesicles contain chemicals (neuro-transmitters), which are released in between the neurones. These neuro-transmitters attach to receptors on the adjacent neurones, causing the adjacent cell to depolarise and propagate an action potential of its own.
The above processes result in electrical signals being generated. Although the voltages are very small, it is possible to study the brain, peripheral-nerves and muscles by recording and analysing these electrical signals. This is done through neurophysiology testing.
All studies performed are analysed by our Neurologist and a clear, comprehensive neurophysiological report is then provided to your referring Doctor within 24 hours. Complex studies especially those requiring qEMG may require longer reporting and analysis time.
