[96] "A neurologist is a medical doctor who specializes in treating diseases of the
nervous system. The nervous system is made of two parts: the central and peripheral
nervous system. It includes the brain and spinal cord. Illnesses, disorders, and injuries
that involve the nervous system often require a neurologist's management and
treatment."

Neurology is the branch of medicine concerned with the study and treatment of
disorders of the nervous system. The nervous system is a complex, sophisticated
system that regulates and coordinates body activities. It has two major divisions:
Central nervous system: the brain and spinal cord
Peripheral nervous system: all other neural elements, such as eyes, ears, skin,
and other "sensory receptors"
A doctor who specializes in neurology is called a neurologist. The neurologist treats
disorders that affect the brain, spinal cord, and nerves, such as:
Cerebrovascular disease, such as stroke .
Demyelinating diseases of the central nervous system, such as multiple sclerosis
Headache disorders
Infections of the brain and peripheral nervous system
Movement disorders, such as Parkinson's disease
Neurodegenerative disorders, such as Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease,
and Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (Lou Gehrig's disease)
Seizure disorders, such as epilepsy
