Neurology is a medical specialty that focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of diseases and disorders of the nervous system. Some of the diagnostic approaches which are used within this field are neuroimaging, electrophysiological tests and genetic testing. Neuroimaging techniques such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), computed tomography (CT), and positron emission tomography (PET) scans help in visualizing the structure and function of the brain and spinal cord. Electrophysiological tests include tests such as electroencephalography (EEG), electromyography (EMG), and nerve conduction studies (NCS), and they measure the electrical activity of the brain, nerves, and muscles. Some of the common treatment approaches which are used within this field are rehabilitation therapies, interventional procedures and surgical interventions. This book includes some of the vital pieces of work being conducted across the world, on various topics related to neurology. It will serve as a valuable source of reference for graduate and postgraduate students.
