Neurology is a broad field that encompasses many different subspecialties, including:

Clinical Neurology:

This is the study of neurological disorders that affect the central and peripheral nervous system. Neurologists who specialize in clinical neurology diagnose and treat conditions such as stroke, epilepsy, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s disease, and Alzheimer’s disease.

Pediatric Neurology:

This is a subspecialty of neurology that deals with neurological conditions that affect infants, children, and adolescents. Pediatric neurologists diagnose and treat conditions such as cerebral palsy, developmental delays, and seizures.

Neuromuscular Disorders:

This is a subspecialty of neurology that deals with disorders of the muscles and nerves that control movement. Neurologists who specialize in neuromuscular disorders diagnose and treat conditions such as muscular dystrophy, myasthenia gravis, and peripheral neuropathy.

Neuro-oncology:

This is a subspecialty of neurology that deals with cancers of the nervous system. Neuro-oncologists diagnose and treat conditions such as brain tumors, spinal cord tumors, and neurofibromatosis.

Neurogenetics:

This is a subspecialty of neurology that deals with genetic disorders of the nervous system. Neurogeneticists diagnose and treat conditions such as Huntington’s disease, spinocerebellar ataxia, and muscular dystrophy.
