Neurology

Neurology is a branch of medicine that focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of disorders related to the nervous system, which includes the brain, spinal cord, and peripheral nerves. Neurologists are specialized doctors who manage conditions such as stroke, epilepsy, migraines, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's disease, and Alzheimer's disease. They use various diagnostic tools, like MRI and CT scans, EEGs (electroencephalograms), and lumbar punctures, to assess neurological function and identify abnormalities. Neurology also involves the management of symptoms and chronic conditions, as well as collaborating with other specialists for comprehensive care of complex neurological disorders.
