Neurology is a highly specialized branch of Neuroscience that deals with the management of the entire gamut of diseases, disorders, and malignancies involving both central, as well as peripheral nervous systems. The former comprises the Brain and the Spinal Cord, whereas the latter includes the peripheral nerves and muscles. Neurological problems may range from simple disabilities to complex disorders and can prove to be debilitating, or even life-threatening, without proper care. Neurology focuses on the prevention, diagnosis, assessment, and management of such conditions using different surgical and non-surgical modalities.
