⚠️ Introduction



A seizure is one of the scariest experiences for both patients and families. Whether it’s jerking movements, blackouts, sudden falls, or staring spells, seizures should never be ignored.


As the Best Neurologist in Cuttack, I treat hundreds of children and adults with epilepsy, helping them live a confident, seizure-free life.





🧠 What is a Seizure?



A seizure is caused by sudden abnormal electrical activity in the brain. It can last a few seconds to several minutes and present in different forms:


  • Uncontrollable shaking
  • Staring blankly
  • Sudden collapse
  • Loss of consciousness
  • Unusual behavior or body stiffness



If someone in your family has had such an episode, consult the Best Neurologist in Cuttack immediately.





🔍 Common Causes of Seizures



At Nilakantha Brain Clinic, we diagnose the full spectrum of epilepsy causes:


  • Genetic epilepsy (common in children)
  • Head injury or brain trauma
  • Brain tumors or infections (meningitis, neurocysticercosis)
  • Stroke or brain bleeding
  • Metabolic causes (sodium/calcium/glucose imbalance)
  • Febrile seizures in infants and toddlers






🧪 Diagnostic Process



As a leading epileptologist and neurologist, I follow a stepwise evaluation:


  • EEG (Electroencephalogram)
  • Video EEG Monitoring (if seizures are frequent)
  • MRI Brain to detect structural issues
  • Blood tests for metabolic and genetic causes
  • Detailed history-taking from patient and witnesses



Correct diagnosis by the Best Neurologist in Cuttack ensures the right treatment from day one.





💊 Treatment Options



Most people can become seizure-free with the right medication. I offer:


  • Anti-epileptic drugs tailored to age & seizure type
  • Lifestyle advice to avoid triggers
  • Counseling for school & career planning
  • Surgical referral in drug-resistant epilepsy
  • Ketogenic diet for pediatric epilepsy (in selected cases)



Children and adults deserve a full life — and I’m committed to making that possible as the Best Neurologist in Cuttack.

How Our Brain Makes Choices About Liking and Disliking:- Prof. (Dr.) Rohit Chhirolya, MD, DM (Neurology) Blog

Every day, we make countless choices—what to eat, whom to befriend, which music to enjoy, and even what values to uphold. But how does our brain decide what we like and dislike? Is it purely a neurological process, or does consciousness play a role? In this article, we explore this question through the lens of neuroscience, Bhagavad Gita, and insights from Sadhguru. ⭕️  The Neuroscience of Liking and Disliking www.NilakanthaBrainClinic.com Our brain’s preferences are shaped by a complex interaction of neurons, neurotransmitters, and past experiences.  The key players in this process are: 1. Dopamine & Reward System • The brain’s dopaminergic system influences pleasure and motivation. When we experience something enjoyable, dopamine is released in the ventral striatum (part of the basal ganglia), reinforcing that preference. • If an experience causes discomfort, the brain suppresses dopamine release, leading to aversion. 2.
