Neurology is the branch of medicine concerned with the study and treatment of neurological disorders. This includes disorders of the brain, the peripheral nerves and the spinal cord. It also involves the study of structural and functional disorders that encompass birth defects and degenerative disorders like Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s, etc. Neurology is also connected to psychiatry and oncology. Neuro-oncology covers the diagnosis and management of brain tumours, metastases(cancer that spreads from the original site to the brain) and neurological cancer. The disorders that affect children are often different from those that affect adults and are treated by pediatric neurologists.

Neurologists diagnose and manage a wide range of conditions such as epilepsy, stroke, multiple sclerosis, Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, headaches, and various neuromuscular disorders.

Neurologists are medical doctors who specialize in the diagnosis and treatment of neurological disorders. They use clinical evaluation and may order diagnostic tests to understand and manage conditions affecting the nervous system.

Neurologists may order tests such as MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging), CT (Computed Tomography) scans, electroencephalograms (EEG), electromyography (EMG), and nerve conduction studies to aid in the diagnosis of neurological conditions.

Treatment varies depending on the specific neurological disorder. It may include medications, physical therapy, lifestyle modifications, and in some cases, surgery. Neurologists work closely with patients to develop a personalized treatment plan.
