Neurology is the branch of medicine dealing with the diagnosis and treatment of all categories of conditions and disease involving the nervous system,which comprises the brain,the spinal cord and the peripheral nerves. Neurological practice relies heavily on the field of neuroscience,the scientific study of the nervous system.
