Neuroepidemiology
Neurological problems are major unrecognized public health problems. With paucity of trained manpower, the emphasis till date has been on delivery of services,more so in urban areas. Understanding the distribution and determinants of neurological disorders is very vital for planning delivery of services and to develop preventive care and rehabilitation programmes. Neurological disorders being chronic progressive disorders place significant burden on families and the society. In collaboration with Department of Neurology at NIMHANS, the research activities have focused on stroke, epilepsy, movement disorders and neuro-disabilities.
