= Neurology
{wiki}
<Neurology> is the medical study of disorders affecting the <nervous system>. It connects changes in <brain>, <spinal cord> and <peripheral nerve> function to symptoms and examination findings, while using <neuroscience> to investigate the underlying mechanisms.
A <neurological deficit> is an observation to explain, rather than a diagnosis by itself. Comparing <muscle> strength, sensation, coordination and <reflexes> can help distinguish damage to different pathways even when two people report a similar difficulty.
