What are the top 10 neurological diseases?

Neurology is a branch of medicine that focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of disorders of the brain and nervous system. The neurological system includes the brain, spinal cord, cranial nerves, peripheral nerves, nerve roots, autonomic nervous system, neuromuscular junctions, and muscles.

Together, these structures control communication between different parts of the body, enabling movement, thought, and sensory perception.

Our neurologists treat all types of disorders of the nervous system, including:
disorders of the blood vessels, including carotid artery stenosis and stroke
brain tumors, including non-malignant (non-cancerous) brain tumors
injuries such as concussion or trauma
dementia and related disorders, including Alzheimer's disease
epilepsy and other seizure disorders and syndromes
