Neurology

What is neurology?

Neurology is a medical specialty that diagnoses and treats conditions that affect your nervous system, which includes your brain, spinal cord, and peripheral nerves. 

Your nervous system controls what you think, how you feel, and when you move. It also directs the beating of your heart, your body temperature, and your digestive system. Any condition that affects your nervous system can have a profound effect on your body and health.

Neurology specialists understand the functions of the nervous system and the conditions that affect those functions.
