Neurology

Neurology is the study of the physiology, morphology, and pathology of the human nervous system. As researchers, neurologists carry on investigative and experimental effort in such fields as conductivity, embryology, and the metabolism of nervous tissue. As practicing physicians, neurologists make a diagnosis and cure diseases that engage the nervous system. Since the spine, brain, and eye are vital part of the nervous system, the domain of neurology overlaps that of orthopedics, psychiatry, and ophthalmology. Current research is aimed at toward spinal cord injuries, brain tumors, reattachment of severed limbs, and the healing of conditions generated by repetitive motions.
