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?  What is Multiple Sclerosis?  What is Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS)? ALS, also called Lou Gehrig's Disease, is a rapidly progressive, neuromuscular disease that attacks the motor neurons responsible for transmitting electrical impulses from the brain to the voluntary muscles throughout the body. When the muscles fail to receive messages they eventually lose strength, atrophy and die. Those with ALS remain mentally sharp and in full possession of their ability to see, hear, taste, smell and touch. Science does not yet know a cause for ALS, nor does it have a cure. Neurological Associates aims to help maximize quality of life for patients with ALS.
