Neurology examines the anatomical and physiological characteristics of the nervous system, its disorders and clinical syndromes for various reasons. Neurology is a medical science that examines the diseases of the brain, brain stem, spinal cord and peripheral nervous system and muscles in general, and includes treatment applications other than diagnosis and surgery.

Neurology has ceased to be a closed and limited branch over time, and has been divided into sub-disciplines that require specialization such as epilepsy, movement disorders, cerebrovascular diseases, dementia, sleep disorders. The EEG or EMG laboratory required for the treatment of diseases in all these fields has become an integral part of the neurology department.
