They control your thought process, emotions, vision, speech, heartbeat, hunger and every other process that regulates your body.</p> <p>A Neurologist treats diseases of the nervous system:</p> <ul> <li><b>Central Nervous System:</b> The Central Nervous System comprises the brain and the spinal cord. The brain is the control centre of our bodies. They control everything we choose to do, like walk and talk. And the things our bodies do automatically — like heartbeats, digestion, breathing etc. They are also responsible for our senses — seeing, hearing, touching, smelling, and our emotions, thoughts, and memories. That’s why any fatal injury to our CNS could result in death or, if we survived, loss of speech, vision, memory or movements (paralysis), depending on where you have been hit.</li> </ul> <p>While the brain is located in the skull, the spinal cord runs down through your spine (backbone). The spinal cord helps connect the Central Nervous System with the Peripheral Nervous System.</p> <ul> <li><b>Peripheral Nervous System:</b> The complex network of nerve fibres that branch out from the brain and spinal cords are called the Peripheral Nervous System (PNS). There are two types of PNS. They are <ul> <li aria-level="2"><b>Somatic Nervous System:</b> It connects the Central Nervous System to the muscles. They are responsible for voluntary movements and reflexes. Think of it this way: when you touch a hot substance, your brain immediately signals to the muscles in your hand about the danger. As a result, you withdraw your hand quickly; this is how the Somatic Nervous System communicates with the Central Nervous System and helps us protect ourselves from injuries. The Somatic Nervous System is responsible for movement and reflexes.</li> <li aria-level="2"><b>Autonomic Nervous System:</b> It connects the Central Nervous System to muscles/tissues of the internal organs that humans have no control over — heart, lungs, kidneys, intestines, glands (thyroid, pituitary, adrenal etc.) necessary for our day to day functioning. The Autonomic Nervous System is responsible for digestion, breathing, blood pressure, heart rate and metabolism.</li> </ul> </li> <li><b>Neurons:</b> Neurons are the basic building blocks of our nervous system. Each neuron is connected to several other neurons forming a mesh-like network. The points at which one neuron connects with another is called the synaptic cleft or synapse. It is at this junction that the exchange of electrochemical signals takes place. Here, the electric signal is converted to a chemical signal, i.e., chemicals in the form of neurotransmitters are exchanged between neurons. This chemical signal is again converted to an electric signal in the next neuron, which then travels to your brain through a series of such electrochemical processes.</li> </ul> <p>These neurons and neurotransmitters are the reason why you experience an emotion, thought, feelings or vision. If there were a disbalance of neurotransmitters, you’d experience mental health problems. For example, Dopamine (DA) is a neurotransmitter involved with motivation, decision-making, movement, reward processing, attention, working memory and learning. And its disbalance has been associated with depression, Parkinson’s disease, addiction, Schizophrenia and Huntington’s disease. Similarly, a disbalance of Serotonin is associated with anxiety, depression, aggression, Dementia, Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD), panic attacks, social anxiety and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Your brain has more than a trillion such synaptic connections. Each time you experience an emotion or listen to good music, new synaptic connections or circuits are formed, allowing you to develop memories, emotions, and feelings. Isn’t that amazing?</p> </div></div></div></section><span class="WidgetWrapper_anchor__2Do8d" id=""></span><div class="TagWidget_container__16EL-"><div class="TagWidget_imageWrapper__3DAv7"><img src="" alt="" title=""/></div><div class="TagWidget_text__2tB68">Consult a Neurologist Online for all Stroke Related Problems!</div></div></section><section><span class="WidgetWrapper_anchor__2Do8d" id="when-to-visit"></span><section class="InformationWidget_container__3d4VB" style="border-radius:1em"><div class="InformationWidget_heading__4UZ4b "><h2 class="HeaderComponent_container__1ZYkh HeaderComponent_Normal__1b5gZ" style="padding-bottom:0.75em" data-testid="header-h2">How often should you see a Neurologist?</h2></div><div class="InformationWidget_descriptionContainer__15MLv "><div class="ListItemComponent_container__3Nxa7"><div class="rich__text__container " contenteditable="false"><p>It’s time to see a Neurologist in case of the following diseases:</p> <ul> <li><b>Multiple sclerosis </b>is an autoimmune disease wherein your immune system attacks the neurons leading to its damage (nerve damage). Depending on the location of the affected nerve, you may experience symptoms such as tremors, weakness in muscles, partial or complete loss of vision, slurred speech, fatigue, tingling or pain in various parts of your body etc.</li> <li><b>Myasthenia Gravis</b> is a long term neuromuscular disease leading to muscle weakness.</li> <li><b>Stroke</b> occurs when a piece of blood clot or waxy substance (cholesterol) travels to your brain via the arteries, leading to blockage or brain damage. In such cases, the patient may experience symptoms such as loss of speech, paralysis to the face, arm, legs, or one side of the body or vision problems.</li> <li><b>Epilepsy </b>is partly a genetic disorder. It’s also caused due to brain trauma, mass lesions in the brain or stroke where the nerve cells or its activity are constantly irritated. An epileptic person may exhibit unusual behaviour such as seizures or fits (involuntary movements of limbs). Symptoms also include loss of consciousness and awareness of their surroundings.</li> <li><b>Parkinson’s disease</b> is a neurological movement disorder caused due to nerve damage (damage to neurons) in the part of the brain called the substantia nigra. This part of the brain is responsible for the production of dopamine (a type of neurotransmitter responsible for communication between the brain and muscles), leading to abnormalities in their levels. Symptoms of the disease include muscle weakness, stiffness, tremors in hands and feet, coordination problems etc. There is no cure for Parkinson’s disease.</li> </ul> </div></div></div></section><div class="WidgetSeperator_container__oNSYK"></div></section><section><span class="WidgetWrapper_anchor__2Do8d" id="educational-qualification"></span><section class="InformationWidget_container__3d4VB" style="border-radius:1em"><div class="InformationWidget_heading__4UZ4b "><h2 class="HeaderComponent_container__1ZYkh HeaderComponent_Normal__1b5gZ" style="padding-bottom:0.75em" data-testid="header-h2">What degrees do you need to be a Neurologist?</h2></div><div class="InformationWidget_descriptionContainer__15MLv "><div class="ListItemComponent_container__3Nxa7"><div class="rich__text__container " contenteditable="false"><p>Neurology is the branch of medicine dealing with the study of diseases and functions of the nervous system.

Neurons are the basic building blocks of the nervous system. Neurons are made up of three parts, namely,</p> <ol> <li>A cell body contains a nucleus, smooth and rough endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus, mitochondria and other cellular components.</li> <li>Axon is a tube-like structure with branches at its end – these branches are called the axon terminals. The Axon tube carries the electrical signal from other neurons’ dendrites and passes it on to the axon terminal, where it’s converted to a chemical signal. These chemical signals are then passed on to other neurons’ dendrites, where it’s again reconverted to an electrical impulse. The axon terminal – dendrite junction is called the synapse, where the exchange of information takes place (electrical – chemical – electrical).</li> <li>Dendrites are branch-like structures extending from the cell body. While Axon from other neurons delivers the chemical impulse, dendrites receive it, convert it to an electrical impulse, and pass it on to its own axon body. This electrochemical process and exchange of signals between the brain and body organs happen in a fraction of a second.</li> </ol> <p>Any damage to any of the above parts could result in nerve damage (or neurological disorder).</p> </div></div></div></div><div class="FaqWidget_content__26Asd cursorPointer"><h3 class="FaqWidget_mainContent__2oFts">Neurologist vs neurosurgeon: What's the difference?<div class="ToggleArrow_imageWrapper__xLCoz "><img src="https://assets.mfine.co/api/contentservice/attachments/download/mfineweb/down_arrow.svg" alt=" > " width="14" height="8"/></div></h3><div class="FaqWidget_faqDescription__2hh4R "><div class="ListItemComponent_container__3Nxa7"><div class="rich__text__container " contenteditable="false"><p>Neurologists like neurosurgeons are doctors who specialise in brain and nervous system disorders.

They control your thought process, emotions, vision, speech, heartbeat, hunger and every other process that regulates your body.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA Neurologist treats diseases of the nervous system:\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cb\u003eCentral Nervous System:\u003c/b\u003e The Central Nervous System comprises the brain and the spinal cord. The brain is the control centre of our bodies. They control everything we choose to do, like walk and talk. And the things our bodies do automatically — like heartbeats, digestion, breathing etc. They are also responsible for our senses — seeing, hearing, touching, smelling, and our emotions, thoughts, and memories. That’s why any fatal injury to our CNS could result in death or, if we survived, loss of speech, vision, memory or movements (paralysis), depending on where you have been hit.\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003c/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile the brain is located in the skull, the spinal cord runs down through your spine (backbone). The spinal cord helps connect the Central Nervous System with the Peripheral Nervous System.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cb\u003ePeripheral Nervous System:\u003c/b\u003e The complex network of nerve fibres that branch out from the brain and spinal cords are called the Peripheral Nervous System (PNS). There are two types of PNS. They are\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli aria-level=\"2\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eSomatic Nervous System:\u003c/b\u003e It connects the Central Nervous System to the muscles. They are responsible for voluntary movements and reflexes. Think of it this way: when you touch a hot substance, your brain immediately signals to the muscles in your hand about the danger. As a result, you withdraw your hand quickly; this is how the Somatic Nervous System communicates with the Central Nervous System and helps us protect ourselves from injuries. The Somatic Nervous System is responsible for movement and reflexes.\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli aria-level=\"2\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eAutonomic Nervous System:\u003c/b\u003e It connects the Central Nervous System to muscles/tissues of the internal organs that humans have no control over — heart, lungs, kidneys, intestines, glands (thyroid, pituitary, adrenal etc.) necessary for our day to day functioning. The Autonomic Nervous System is responsible for digestion, breathing, blood pressure, heart rate and metabolism.\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003c/ul\u003e\n\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cb\u003eNeurons:\u003c/b\u003e Neurons are the basic building blocks of our nervous system. Each neuron is connected to several other neurons forming a mesh-like network. The points at which one neuron connects with another is called the synaptic cleft or synapse. It is at this junction that the exchange of electrochemical signals takes place. Here, the electric signal is converted to a chemical signal, i.e., chemicals in the form of neurotransmitters are exchanged between neurons. This chemical signal is again converted to an electric signal in the next neuron, which then travels to your brain through a series of such electrochemical processes.\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003c/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese neurons and neurotransmitters are the reason why you experience an emotion, thought, feelings or vision. If there were a disbalance of neurotransmitters, you’d experience mental health problems. For example, Dopamine (DA) is a neurotransmitter involved with motivation, decision-making, movement, reward processing, attention, working memory and learning. And its disbalance has been associated with depression, Parkinson’s disease, addiction, Schizophrenia and Huntington’s disease. Similarly, a disbalance of Serotonin is associated with anxiety, depression, aggression, Dementia, Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD), panic attacks, social anxiety and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Your brain has more than a trillion such synaptic connections. Each time you experience an emotion or listen to good music, new synaptic connections or circuits are formed, allowing you to develop memories, emotions, and feelings.

The Axon tube carries the electrical signal from other neurons’ dendrites and passes it on to the axon terminal, where it’s converted to a chemical signal. These chemical signals are then passed on to other neurons’ dendrites, where it’s again reconverted to an electrical impulse. The axon terminal – dendrite junction is called the synapse, where the exchange of information takes place (electrical – chemical – electrical).\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDendrites are branch-like structures extending from the cell body.
