Neurology

Neurology is the branch of medicine that focuses on the diagnosis, treatment, and management of disorders affecting the nervous system, including the brain, spinal cord, and peripheral nerves. Neurologists are specialists who address conditions like epilepsy, migraines, strokes, Parkinson's disease, multiple sclerosis, and neuropathies. Neurology encompasses understanding the intricate structure and function of the nervous system, along with its role in motor control, sensation, cognition, and behavior. Advanced diagnostic tools such as MRI, CT scans, and EEG are commonly used in this field. Neurology is essential for improving quality of life and advancing research on complex neurological disorders.
