Neurology

Neurology examines the structure and function of the nervous system and the disorders that affect it. It encompasses the brain, spinal cord, peripheral nerves, and neuromuscular junctions, investigating how these systems coordinate movement, sensation, cognition, emotion, and autonomic regulation. The field addresses a wide range of conditions, including stroke, epilepsy, neurodegenerative diseases, multiple sclerosis, neuropathies, and movement disorders. By integrating clinical practice with advances in neuroimaging, molecular neuroscience, and computational approaches, neurology seeks to improve diagnosis, treatment, and long-term care for patients while deepening our understanding of the biological foundations of behavior and consciousness.
