Neurology is a branch of medicine focusing on the nervous system, primarily focusing on the brain and spinal cord. The nervous system is categorized into the central and peripheral nervous systems. The central nervous system comprises the brain and spinal cord thus controlling most of the voluntary and involuntary actions of the body. The peripheral nervous system comprises the somatic and autonomic nervous systems. Nerve connections from the sensory organs relay information from the receptors to the brain. Neurologists are medical experts who specialize in treating conditions which affect the brain, and spinal cord, such as Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, Stroke, etc.

EMG or Electromyography is an invasive diagnostic procedure to assess the health of muscles and the nerve cells that control them (motor neurons). EMG results can reveal nerve dysfunction, muscle dysfunction or problems with nerve-to-muscle signal transmission.
After confirming stroke, a neurologist will prescribe a series of scans, tests, and examinations to identify the way a stroke has affected the neurological system. The standard battery of tests will include MRIs, CT scans, Ultrasound, blood draws, angiograms and echocardiograms. These tests will shed light on the severity of the stroke as well as the…
Our brain and spinal cord are surrounded by fluid called cerebrospinal fluid. Lumbar puncture is a procedure in which doctor collects a sample of cerebrospinal fluid which can be tested in the lab for diseases of the brain and spinal cord.
EEG or Electroencephalogram is a test that records the electrical activity of the brain and brain wave patterns.
Some of the common neurological disorders are of the spinal cord, muscular dystrophy, myasthenia gravis, epilepsy, and even insomnia.
