Neurology is a branch of medicine dealing with disorders of the nervous system. It deals with the diagnosis and treatment of all categories of conditions and disease involving the central and peripheral nervous systems, including their coverings, blood vessels, and all effector tissue, such as muscle. Neurologists are specialists who treat diseases of the brain and spinal cord, peripheral nerves and muscles. Neurological conditions include epilepsy, stroke, multiple sclerosis (MS), and Parkinson’s disease.
A brilliant author, Dr. Ramsay is the Chief Editor of the book, Neurobiology of Epilepsy and Aging, as well the textbook, Seizures and Epilepsy in the Elderly with A. James Rowan.
