Neurology is the branch of medicine concerned with the study and treatment of disorders of the nervous system. The nervous system is a complex, sophisticated system that regulates and coordinates body activities. It has two major divisions: Central nervous system: the brain and spinal cord.
A neurologist is a medical doctor that specializes in the study, diagnosis, treatment, and management of injuries, diseases, and disorders of the nervous system. The nervous system includes the brain and spinal cord and is made up of two parts: the central and peripheral nervous system.
Neurologists specialize in studying and treating the brain and nervous system. They diagnose and treat problems that include Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, multiple sclerosis, stroke, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), epilepsy, migraine, and concussion.
