Neurology What is Neurology? Neurology is the medical specialty that pertains to the diagnosis, treatment, and management of disorders of the brain and nervous system. Some common disorders neurologists treat include stroke, headaches, epilepsy, sleep disorders, brain tumors, Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, and multiple sclerosis. Neurologists serve as principal care providers or as consultants to other doctors. In a consulting role, a neurologist will diagnose and treat a neurological disorder and then advise the primary care physician who is managing the patient's overall health. Although neurologists can recommend surgical treatment, they do not perform surgery. Many neurologists may also have additional training in one specific area of neurology, such as stroke, epilepsy, or movement disorders. This area is called a subspecialty. Physicians
