Neurology

Neurology is the study of the nervous system, which includes the brain, spinal cord, and other parts of the body that process information in the form of electrical signals. These signals are sent through the nervous system to control all the activities of the body. Neurology is the branch of medicine that deals with disorders of the nervous system, such as Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, and stroke. The nervous system is very complicated, so neurologists are doctors who have completed many years of education and training to be able to understand how the nervous system works and how to treat nervous system disorders. Many neurologists specialize in certain areas, such as movement disorders, stroke, Alzheimer’s, or Parkinson’s.
