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)?  What is Parkinson's Disease?  What is Epilepsy? When someone has epilepsy, normal brain function (made possible by millions of tiny, electrical charges passing between nerve cells in the brain and all parts of the body) may be interrupted by intermittent bursts of electrical energy that are much more intense than usual. They may affect a person's consciousness, bodily movements or sensations for a short time. These physical changes are called seizures. Normal brain function cannot return until the electrical bursts subside. Conditions in the brain that produce these episodes may have been present since birth, or they may develop later in life due to stroke trauma, injury, infections, structural abnormalities in the brain, exposure to toxic agents, or for reasons that are not well understood.
