Neurology is the branch of medicine that deals with conditions and diseases involving the central nervous system (brain and spinal cord) and the peripheral nervous systems (autonomic and somatic), including their coverings, blood vessels, and all effector tissue such as muscle.

Neurology encompasses over 5000 neurological diseases and relies on insights from fields such as neuroscience. This medical speciality deals with dementia including Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, neuromuscular disorders including spinal muscular atrophy and pain management as a sub-speciality.
