What is neurology and what are neurological conditions?

Have you ever experienced problems with memory or your senses? Have you or your loved ones had any trouble moving, speaking, or learning?

Neurological disorders affect parts of the nervous system, which can include the brain, spine, and nerves that connect them. There is a wide range of neurological diseases such as Parkinson’s disease, stroke, brain tumours, Alzheimer’s disease, and epilepsy.

Neurology is the branch of medicine practiced by neurologists that deals with the diagnosis and treatment of such disorders to help you manage these conditions.
