Neurology is the study and treatment of nervous system disorders, including problems with the brain and spinal cord. Some of these issues are movement disorders, such as Parkinson’s disease; neurodegenerative disorders, such as Alzheimer’s disease; and seizure disorders, such as epilepsy.

Neurosurgery is the branch of medicine that deals with nervous system disorders—both disorders and injuries—surgically. Commonly treated brain and spinal cord conditions include brain tumors, movement disorders, hydrocephalus, and epilepsy.
