Neurology

Neurology is the branch of medicine that deals with the diagnosis and treatment of diseases of the central and peripheral nervous system. Most often, after a detailed interview, tests of mental status, cranial nerve function, strength, coordination, and reflexes are performed so that the neurologist can assess whether there is a problem in the nervous system and where.
