Whois & Analysis for neurologyadvisor.com

Epilepsy is a group of neurological disorders characterized by epileptic seizures.

Epileptic seizures are episodes that can vary from brief and nearly undetectable to long periods of vigorous shaking.

These episodes can result in physical injuries including occasionally broken bones.

In epilepsy, seizures tend to recur and as a rule, have no immediate underlying cause.

Isolated seizures that are provoked by a specific cause such as poisoning are not deemed to represent epilepsy.

People with epilepsy in some areas of the world experience stigma due to the condition.

Dementia, also known as senility, is a broad category of brain diseases that cause a long term and often gradual decrease in the ability to think and remember that is great enough to affect a person's daily functioning.

Other common symptoms include emotional problems, problems with language, and a decrease in motivation.

A person's consciousness is usually not affected.

A dementia diagnosis requires a change from a person's usual mental functioning and a greater decline than one would expect due to aging.

These diseases also have a significant effect on a person's caregivers.

Neurology (from, neuron, and the suffix.

"study of") is a branch of medicine dealing with disorders of the nervous system.

Neurology deals with the diagnosis and treatment of all categories of conditions and disease involving the central and peripheral nervous system (and its subdivisions, the autonomic nervous system and the somatic nervous system); including their coverings, blood vessels, and all effector tissue, such as muscle.

Neurological practice relies heavily on the field of neuroscience, which is the scientific study of the nervous system.

Central nervous system diseases, also known as central nervous system disorders, are a group of neurological disorders that affect the structure or function of the brain or spinal cord, which collectively form the central nervous system (CNS).

A stroke is when poor blood flow to the brain results in cell death.

There are two main types of stroke: ischemic, due to lack of blood flow, and hemorrhagic, due to bleeding.

They result in part of the brain not functioning properly.

Signs and symptoms of a stroke may include an inability to move or feel on one side of the body, problems understanding or speaking, feeling like the world is spinning, or loss of vision to one side.

Signs and symptoms often appear soon after the stroke has occurred.

If symptoms last less than one or two hours it is known as a transient ischemic attack (TIA) or mini-stroke.

A hemorrhagic stroke may also be associated with a severe headache.

The symptoms of a stroke can be permanent.

Long-term complications may include pneumonia or loss of bladder control.
