Neurology is not only a brain-related specialty.
As well as migraines, epilepsy and headaches, behavioral and cognitive
disorders, brain cancer and traumatic brain injury, neurological disorders
include progressive diseases such as Huntington’s and Lou Gehrig’s disease, and
demyelinating diseases such as multiple sclerosis.
Being top in the hierarchy of any system is not
an easy job always. The organizational abilities at this level will be highly
demanding, challenging, and daunting to say the least. Our nervous system,
especially the central nervous system (brain & spinal cod) occupying such a
position is expected to deliver in this line.
Good news! In fact they do deliver very well what
is expected from them. We human beings are fortunate that our nervous system is
gigantically advanced as compared to other animals on this planet. Multi-task
abilities, executive level of thinking, very high-level organization etc are
the norms of human brain. The spinal cord also ably supports the brain in many
fronts.
