Your brain can be compared to a vast center of operations, connected to a multitude of outlying posts as far-flung as your big toe by an intricate system of nerves. Impulses arising in your brain are conveyed outward to the body, while information from the body is brought back to the brain by another group of nerves. The clinical study of both the brain and its connections as well as what goes wrong with them is called neurology. Problems that are neurological in nature range from stroke to Alzheimer’s disease to multiple sclerosis. If you have a problem that requires a consultation with a neurologist it will usually be arranged by a primary care physician, or if you'd like a second opinion you can make an appointment yourself. The neurology and neurosurgery divisions have access to the vast array of imaging technologies and diagnostic tests of the Johns Hopkins Hospital, with many prominent researchers in the fields of neurology and neurosurgery on staff. > Visit the Neurology and Neurosurgery Web site
