Neurology is a branch of medicine that examines the diseases of the brain, brain stem, spinal cord and peripheral nervous system and muscles in general, and includes treatment applications other than diagnosis and surgery.

In addition to the serious laboratory background in all these fields, neurology is in a multidisciplinary relationship with many other medical fields to date.
