The
field of neurology focuses on the nervous system, including the brain, spinal
cord, and nerves. Physicians who
specialize in neurology are called neurologists. They diagnose and treat conditions such as
stroke, Alzheimer's disease, epilepsy, cerebral palsy, sleep disorders,
migraines, and Parkinson's disease, as well as treat injury or trauma to the
brain, spinal cord, or nerves.
