General information on medical treatment
Neurology is the medical field that deals with the nervous system in the body, including the brain and its various parts, the spinal cord, and the nerves found in all organs of the body. The field can be divided into two: adult neurology versus pediatric neurology: An adult neurologist diagnoses and treats medical conditions related to the nervous system, including conditions of brain injury or disease, autoimmune diseases, neurodegenerative diseases (such as multiple sclerosis and ALS), neuromuscular diseases (such as myasthenia gravis), movement disorders (such as Parkinson's disease), memory disorders (Alzheimer's, dementia), and more. Pediatric neurologists, on the other hand, typically specialize in conditions typical for younger ages, such as developmental disorders, disorders in brain maturation, epilepsy, and other neurological conditions typical for children and adolescents.
