Neurology is the branch of medicine that focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of disorders affecting the nervous system, including the brain, spinal cord, and peripheral nerves. Neurologists manage conditions such as epilepsy, stroke, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s disease, and migraines. The field involves various diagnostic tools like MRI, CT scans, and electrophysiological tests to assess neurological function. Neurology plays a vital role in understanding and treating conditions that impact cognition, movement, sensation, and overall neurological health.
