SEVERAL ALLORE CENTER WHICH
MILLER MAGNETO AND STUFF SEVERAL ALLORE CENTER WHICH4@ INCLUDES ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY TO
WITH THE DIAGNOSIS AND
TREATMENT OF EPILEPSY AND BRAIN
TUMORS4@ M E G AS IT'S KNOWN IS@
FUNCTIONAL NEURO IMAGING
TECHNOLOGIES4@ AVAILABLE FOR
MAPPING BRAIN ACTIVITY AND THIS
NEW DEVICE WILL BE THE FIRST OF
ITS KIND4@ HERE IN WEST MICHIGA.
DR. UNDERHILL HERNANDEZ IS
DIVISION4@ CHIEF FOR
NEUROSCIENCES AT HIGHLANDER

OUR FIRST PATIENT IS4@ NEXT >>
WEEK.
THE MAGNETO4@ FILMOGRAPHY OR
EDMORE AS YOU SAID FOR SHORT4@ S
SENDING A NONINVASIVE.
IT'S A NEURO PHYSIOLOGICAL4@ TET
THAT MEASURES MAGNETIC FIELDS
AND AND WE GENERATE MAGNETIC
FIELDS OF OUR BODY GENERATES
MAGNETIC FIELDS.
SO WE'RE MEASURING MAGNETIC
FIELDS IN OUR BRAINS TO HELP4@ S
PINPOINT TO THE MILLIMETER
WHERE SEIZURES MAY BE COMING
FROM ON AN ADULT OR PEDIATRIC

THIS IN TURN WILL HELP US4@ ALSO
TREAT PATIENTS SURGICALLY WHEN4@

PATIENTS AND BRAIN TUMOR
PATIENTS4@ BUT IT ALSO WILL
GENERATE SOME ACADEMIC
COLLABORATE STANDS BETWEEN

THIS WILL GENERATE CUTTING EDGE
RESEARCH INTO A NUMBER4@ BRAIN
DISORDERS NOT ONLY EPILEPSY BUT
ALSO STROKE, TRAUMATIC BRAIN
INJURIES, AUTISM AS4@ ALZHEIMERS
AND DEMENTIA.
SO WE'RE VERY EXCITED ABOUT
THIS OPPORTUNITY4@ THANKS TO THE
