Neuroimmunology laboratories often focus on studying autoimmune diseases of the nervous system, such as multiple sclerosis (MS), neuromyelitis optica (NMO), Myasthenia Gravis (MG),Paraneoplasticsyndrome, Autoimmune encephalitis,and Guillain-Barré syndrome. The outpatient clinic at OMU Departmentof Neurology is a cornerstone of comprehensive care for patients with neurological disorders. With 30 patients under its care on any given day, the clinic serves as a hub of expertise, providing a wide range of services, including EEG and EMG neurophysiological investigations.
