I don't know if you'll understand this but here goes:\n\nNeurological Surgery is a discipline of medicine and that specialty of surgery which provides the operative and nonoperative management (ie, prevention, diagnosis, evaluation, treatment, critical care, and rehabilitation) of disorders of the central, peripheral, and autonomic nervous systems, including their supporting structures and vascular supply; the evaluation and treatment of pathological processes that modify the function or activity of the nervous system, including the hypophysis: and the operative and nonoperative management of pain. As such, neurological surgery encompasses the surgical, nonsurgical and stereotactic radiosurgical treatment of adult and pediatric patients with disorders of the nervous system: disorders of the brain, meninges, skull base, and their blood supply, including the surgical and endovascular treatment of disorders of the intracranial and extracranial vasculature supplying the brain and spinal cord; disorders of the pituitary gland; disorders of the spinal cord, meninges, and vertebral column, including those that may require treatment by fusion, instrumentation,or endovascular techniques; and disorders of the cranial and spinal nerves throughout their distribution." \n\nGood luck

If a lesion shows on a brain scan and the brain surgeon thinks he can repair the lesion causing psychological problems - then he will do surgery accordingly.Similarly, problems diagnosed by a psychiatrist may be refered to a brain surgeon - who may do surgery if a lesion shows up on a brain scan. The same applies to lesions caused by disease or accidents. Any lesion in the brain may cause psychiatric problems or behavioural problems and can be corrected with surgery. Other psychiatric problems are treated with drugs and or counselling.

The current use of electromagnetic radiation to treat brain tumors are gamma rays not x-rays.  gamma rays are smaller and even more energetic.  Doctors are using these rays like a knife without ever opening the skull.  They use very small amounts of gamma rays that converge on one place in the skull in order to kill the cells in just that location.  It is amazing that it is an outpatient procedure but the risk of not "getting it all" increases.

Look in the encylopedia and look up the word brain and information pertaining to (frontal Lobes of the brain) it pertains much to what you are wanting to know. It talks about the thinking and language and control motor thrpugh the body.I found this information in a nursing handbook that I have.It was too much to type so I just gave you a briefing.

the eye and arm test...(learned this in psych class) if a person is looking up and to the right while they are talking to you, that means that the left side of the brain is being activated (the creative side) and they are making up a bunch of B.S. also, after they are done talking to you tell them to put their arms out to their sides and then you try to push them back down, if they go down then they are lying because lying makes you physically weaker. its pretty cool stuff.

Many simple neurological tests during a simple physical exam in the dr office are non invasive. Many of these are also used by intro students in bio or anatomy to study how the nervous system works. Special senses are also "offshoots" of the nervous system and require proper brain function for each of the senses to work. So testing brain, spinal cord, nerves and senses are included here:\n\n1. light-flashight to check pupilary reflexes\n2. rubber hammer to check reflexes too (esp the knee)\n3. rubbing sole of foot, side of cheek or inner thigh tests more reflexes, esp in the newborn\n4. clap hands next to ear to check hearing\n5. DUI walking-pointing tests test equilibrium-sobriety\n6. cotton swabs dipped in different taste solutions to test taste\n7. lots of ways to test touch-pressure sensation ability: feathers, hot, cold, water\n8. spin around on a chair and then try to walk straight.\n9. test for blind spot and color blindness\n10. test olfactory fatigue with misc different odors \n11. test optical illusions from a book\n\nHOW MANY DO YOU WANT? There are DOZENS-HUNDREDS of simple tests that are cheap and fun to test basic neurological function (health of brain, spinal cord, nerves and senses).

You would think it wouldn't take a brain surgeon to figure that out  :-)

Get an MRI.  CT scans are useless to look for a pituitary gland.\n\nYou can probably find an MRI of the brain that cost <$500 cash pay.\n\nhttp://www.opensystemimaging.com/scans.html

Neurosonographers use ultrasound technology to focus on the nervous system, including the brain. In neonatal care, neurosonographers study and diagnose neurological and nervous system disorders in premature infants. They also may scan blood vessels to check for abnormalities indicating a stroke in infants diagnosed with sickle cell anemia. Like other sonographers, neurosonographers operate transducers to perform the ultrasound, but use different frequencies and beam shapes than obstetric and abdominal sonographers. \n\nObstetric and gynecologic sonographers specialize in the study of the female reproductive system. This includes one of the more well known uses of sonography: examining the fetus of a pregnant woman to track its growth and health.

Probably not.  They can operate on the brain with the pt. fully awake and very comfortable..  The only nerves numbed are in the scalp that they have to cut.
