==Description==
'''Neurology''' (from [[Greek]] νεῦρον, [[neuron]], "nerve" + the suffix -λογία, '-''logia''', "[[study]] of") is a medical specialty dealing with disorders of the nervous system.

A neurologist is a [[physician]] specializing in ''neurology'' and trained to [[investigate]], or [[diagnose]] and treat neurological disorders. Neurologists may also be involved in clinical [[research]], and clinical trials, as well as basic research and translational research. While neurology is a non-surgical specialty, its corresponding [[surgical]] specialty is [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neurosurgery neurosurgery]. Neurology, being a branch of [[medicine]], differs from [[neuroscience]], which is the scientific study of the nervous system in all of its aspects.[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neurology]
