Neuro-Physiology has always been a fascinating study.

Human Brain is regarded as one of the most difficult structure to be completely understood. Inspite of long time investment in studies, researchers are still not able to explain something’s about its functioning, such as Memory Storage, Production of speech (Broca’s Area No 44) and Sensations. 

Even though Neurological Assessment has been made as a mandatory Performa in patient examination of all age groups, it holds significant importance in geriatric population.

As Age advances, Brain undergoes progressive degeneration, especially in terms of Grey Matter, which disturbs normal physiologic processes.

Of these, most commonly affected are:

Memory

Sensory Symptoms

Motor Symptoms

We often find older people, having loss of memory, especially of events which occurred in early life. This is physiologic memory loss.

However, in cases of Parkinson’s & Alzheimer’s disease, we examine patients with memory deficit (Retrograde Amnesia, and sometimes Anterograde Amnesia), affecting:

Sensory Register 

Immediate Memory

Short Term Memory

Long Term Memory

Apart from Geriatric Population, Neuro-Physiological examination also holds importance in cases of Accidental Injuries.

Many Accidental Injuries affecting the cranium (Head & Skull) are associated with some derangements in Nervous System.

This is because of Accidental Trauma to one or more of the following lobes of human brain:

Frontal Lobe

Temporal Lobe

Parietal Lobe

Occipital Lobe  By- Dt. Trishala Chopra
