Neurology

Neurology is the branch of medicine that focuses on the diagnosis, treatment, and management of disorders related to the nervous system. This includes conditions affecting the brain, spinal cord, nerves, and muscles. Neurologists, the specialists in this field, are trained to handle a wide range of neurological issues, such as strokes, epilepsy, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s disease, headaches, and neurodegenerative disorders. Neurology encompasses various subfields, including clinical neurology, pediatric neurology, and neuropsychology, addressing both the physiological and functional aspects of nervous system disorders. The field emphasizes the understanding of the nervous system’s structure and function, neuroanatomy, neurophysiology, and the underlying mechanisms of neurological diseases.
