Neurology-related refers to topics associated with neurology, the medical specialty focused on the nervous system. It encompasses clinical practice, research, education, and policy related to brain and nervous system disorders.

The scope includes disorders of the brain, spinal cord, peripheral nerves, and muscles, such as stroke, epilepsy, migraine, dementia, Parkinson disease, multiple sclerosis, neuropathies, neuromuscular disorders, and neuroinflammatory conditions, as well as pediatric and geriatric aspects of care.

Diagnostic methods include clinical evaluation, imaging such as MRI and CT, electrophysiology such as EEG and EMG, lumbar puncture, laboratory tests, and neuropsychological testing. Treatments encompass pharmacologic therapies, device-based therapies such as deep brain stimulation, rehabilitation, lifestyle interventions, and management of seizures.

Education and workforce considerations cover the path to practice: medical training, residency in neurology, board certification, and ongoing continuing education; related professionals include neuropsychologists, neuroradiologists, neuromuscular specialists, and neurosurgeons, with emphasis on multidisciplinary care.

Research and public health aspects include translating basic neuroscience into clinical practice, conducting clinical trials, and addressing ethics, informed consent, health equity, access to care, and global health challenges, including rare diseases.

Related topics include neurology, neurobiology, and neuroscience.
