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 Multiple Sclerosis? |
| There are many different symptoms associated with Multiple Sclerosis (MS). The disease is difficult to diagnose because the symptoms can come and go, steadily worsen or hit hard a few times and never return.
Common symptoms include vision and speech difficulties, loss of coordination, numbness and paralysis. Others are chronic fatigue, muscle spasms, bladder control problems, and hyper-sensitivity to touch.
The best evidence indicates that MS is caused by the body's immune system going awry and attacking the insulating cells (myelin) of the central nervous system, which includes the spinal cord and the brain. For more information, visit the Mid Ohio MS Center at Neurological Associates or the National Multiple Sclerosis Society. |
