Vibrant Neural Zoomer Plus | Comprehensive Neurological & Neuroimmune Testing
The Vibrant Neural Zoomer Plus is an advanced blood test that evaluates immune responses to proteins and structures within the brain and nervous system. This comprehensive panel measures neurological autoantibodies associated with neuroinflammation, autoimmune activity, blood-brain barrier integrity, demyelination, peripheral neuropathy, and neuromuscular function.
The panel examines immune reactivity involving important neurological structures and signaling pathways, including myelin proteins, dopamine and glutamate pathways, GABA receptors, NMDA receptors, and other neural antigens. It also evaluates immune markers associated with infections such as Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), cytomegalovirus (CMV), human herpesviruses, herpes simplex viruses, and Group A Streptococcus.
In children, this testing may be explored when investigating complex neurological and neuroimmune concerns, including PANS/PANDAS, changes in attention and behavior, emotional dysregulation, cognitive difficulties, sensory sensitivities, and other neurodevelopmental concerns.
In adults, areas of investigation may include chronic brain fog, memory difficulties, cognitive decline, headaches and migraines, dizziness, numbness and tingling, muscle weakness, changes in balance or coordination, and suspected autoimmune or inflammatory conditions affecting the nervous system.
By evaluating a broad range of neurological antibodies, the Neural Zoomer Plus provides additional information about immune reactivity that can be considered alongside symptoms, clinical history, and other diagnostic findings.
Testing is completed using a blood sample, with blood draw and dried blood spot collection options available depending on the laboratory's requirements.
