Neuroscience is the study of the functions and abnormalities of the nervous system. Neuroscience includes neurology and neurosurgery. Neurology is the subspecialty of medicine that deals with the diseases of the central and peripheral nervous systems, pertaining to the brain, cranial nerves and spinal cord. A neurologist is a physician trained in diagnosis and non-surgical treatment of diseases and disorders of the nervous system. Neurosurgery is useful in treating a wide variety of conditions from brain tumors to spine problems. A neurosurgeon is a physician trained in surgery of the nervous system. Neurosurgeons have comprehensive training and experience in using surgery to help patients overcome neurological disease and injury.  What is Stroke?  What are Sleep Disorders?  What are Brain Tumors? In 1998, it was expected that about 110,000 people would be diagnosed with a brain tumor. Most of the tumors (about 85 percent) were expected to be benign. However, about 17,500 of the tumors were projected to be primary and malignant (cancerous). This means the tumor originates in the brain and does not stop growing. Eventually, the tumor interferes with the brain's ability to control vital functions, such as blood pressure, heart rate and breathing. In many cases, malignant brain tumors can be slowed through surgery.
