Neurology

What is Neurology?

Neurology is a medical specialty that deals with the anatomy, functions, and disorders of nerves and the nervous system. The nervous system is a complex network that controls and coordinates bodily functions, including sensation, movement, thought, emotion, and behavior. It comprises the brain, spinal cord, and peripheral nerves. Neurological disorders can have a debilitating effect to an individual, causing loss of memory function and affecting a person's ability to perform day-to-day activities.

Neurologists are medical doctors who possess specialized training in the intricate workings of the nervous system and its impact on overall health and well-being. Neurologists play a crucial role in improving the lives of individuals affected by neurological conditions, providing comprehensive care that encompasses diagnosis, treatment, and rehabilitation.

Some common neurological conditions include:

  • Cerebrovascular Diseases: Conditions affecting the blood vessels in the brain, such as a Stroke, Transient Ischemic Attack, or Aneurysms.
  • Headaches & Migraines
  • Epilepsy: A neurological disorder characterized by recurrent seizures.
  • Movement Disorders: Conditions that affect movement control, such as Parkinson's Disease, involuntary Tremors, and Dystonia.
  • Dementia: A decline in cognitive function, including memory, thinking, and judgment, often affecting older adults. Alzheimer's disease is the most common form of dementia.
  • Brain Tumors: Benign or malignant tumors that grow in the brain.

Non-invasive imaging procedures are used to diagnose neurological disorders. Some of the procedures includes coronary angiography, ultrasound and different type of scans such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)​, computed tomography (CT) and positron emission tomography (PET) scans to assist in detecting irregularities in the brain.​ Medications, physical therapy, surgery and rehabilitation are other forms of treatment available.
