Neurology is a medical specialty that focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of diseases and disorders that affect the nervous system. The nervous system consists of the brain, spinal cord, and peripheral nerves, which control the body's movements, sensations, and cognitive functions.

Neurologists use a variety of diagnostic tests, such as MRI, CT scan, and electroencephalogram (EEG), to identify and evaluate neurological disorders. Treatment options may include medications, physical therapy, surgery, or other specialized interventions.

Common neurological conditions include Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, multiple sclerosis, epilepsy, migraine headaches, and stroke. Neurologists may also treat conditions that affect the peripheral nervous system, such as neuropathy or carpal tunnel syndrome.

Advances in neurology research continue to expand our understanding of the brain and nervous system, leading to new treatments and therapies for neurological disorders.

There are numerous neurological conditions that can affect the brain, spinal cord, and peripheral nervous system. Some common examples include:
