The nervous system controls and coordinates all the activities of our body. It comprises the central nervous system and peripheral nervous system. The central nervous system encompasses our brain and spinal cord, whereas the peripheral nervous system consists of neural elements like eyes, ears, skin, and various sensory receptors. Neurology is a branch of medicine that deals with the diagnosis and treatment of our nervous system disorders. A neurologist is a doctor who specializes in neurology.

How Does a Neurologist Diagnose a Condition?

When you visit a neurologist, he will ask about your medical history and common signs or symptoms that you experience. The neurologist will perform a physical examination to check:

  • Mental status
  • Functioning of cranial nerves such as vision, speech
