Neurology is the sub-specialty of medicine that deals with disorders of the nervous system. All categories of diseases involving the central (brain, brainstem, cerebellum and spinal cord) and peripheral nervous system as well as the linings of these structures and their blood supply may be managed by a neurologist.
