Neurology is the study and treatment of disorders of the nervous system. The nervous system is a complex, sophisticated system that regulates and coordinates body activities. It has two major divisions:
- Central nervous system: the brain and spinal cord
- Peripheral nervous system: all other neural elements, such as eyes, ears, skin, and other "sensory receptors"
A doctor who specializes in neurology is called a neurologist. The neurologist treats disorders that affect the brain, spinal cord, and nerves, such as:
- Cerebrovascular disease, such as stroke
- Demyelinating diseases of the central nervous system, such as multiple sclerosis
- Headache disorders including migraines
- Movement disorders, such as Parkinson's disease and tremors
- Dementia, such as Alzheimer's disease
- Seizure disorders, such as epilepsy
- Speech and language disorders
- Neuropothy, including carpal tunel syndrome & restless leg syndrome
- Sleep disorders, including sleep apnea
