Neurology |
Neurologists specialize in diagnosing and treating disease
or impaired function of the brain, spinal cord, peripheral
nerves, muscles and autonomic nervous system, as well as the
blood vessels that relate to these structures. The neurologist
performs and interprets tests that relate to the central or
peripheral nervous system or to the muscles. A neurologist
often serves as a consultant to other physicians.
The neurologist gains certification by successfully completing
an examination presented by the American Board of Psychiatry
and Neurology.
