Paediatric Neurology
Paediatric Neurology is the branc of medicince that diagnoses and treats babies, children and teenagers who have disorders of the brain, spinal cord, nerves and muscles.
Neurorehabilitation
Neuro-rehabilitation involves the management of life-changing neurological conditions, of sudden or more gradual onset e.g. traumatic brain injury, stroke, spinal cord injury, multiple sclerosis. Neuro-rehabilitation is a substantial component of the speciality of Rehabilitation Medicine. Neuro-rehabilitation Physicians work across the continuum of care from acute through to community. In acute […]
Neuro-ophthalmology
Neuro-ophthalmology is an academically-oriented subspecialty that merges the fields of neurology and ophthalmology, often dealing with complex systemic diseases that have manifestations in the visual system. Neuro-ophthalmologists initially complete a residency in either neurology, neurosurgery, or ophthalmology, then do a fellowship in the complementary field. Since diagnostic studies can be […]
Neurosurgery
Neurosurgery, or neurological surgery, is the medical specialty concerned with the prevention, diagnosis, surgical treatment, and rehabilitation of disorders which affect any portion of the nervous system including the brain, spinal cord, central and peripheral nervous system, and cerebrovascular system.
Adult Neurology
Adult neurology incorporates clinical acumen, investigative strategy across a broad range of diagnostic problems, and apt decision making about therapy. There has been immense progress in the last two decades in imaging, genetic testing and pharmacological development giving hope to those with previously untreatable disorders. Disorders evaluated include dementia, stroke, […]
Neurogenetics
Neurogenetics studies the role of genetics in the development and function of the nervous system. It considers neural characteristics as phenotypes (i.e. manifestations, measurable or not, of the genetic make-up of an individual), and is mainly based on the observation that the nervous systems of individuals, even of those belonging […]
Neuropsychology
Neuropsychology is a branch of psychology that is concerned with how the brain and the rest of the nervous system influence a person’s cognition and behaviors. More importantly, professionals in this branch of psychology often focus on how injuries or illnesses of the brain affect cognitive functions and behaviors.
Neuroradiology
Neuroradiology is a subspecialty of radiology focusing on the diagnosis and characterization of abnormalities of the central and peripheral nervous system, spine, and head and neck using neuroimaging techniques.
Neuropathology
Neuropathology is an essential and specialised branch of pathology dealing with the diagnosis of diseases of the nervous system. The diagnostic service is provided primarily to, and often closely integrated with the clinical activities of neurologists and neurosurgeons but a wide variety of other specialists – including medical and radiation […]
Neuropsychiatry
Neuropsychiatry is a branch of medicine that deals with mental disorders attributable to diseases of the nervous system. It preceded the current disciplines of psychiatry and neurology, which had common training, however, psychiatry and neurology have subsequently split apart and are typically practiced separately. Nevertheless, neuropsychiatry has become a growing […]
Clinical Neurophysiology
Clinical Neurophysiology applies electrophysiological measurement techniques to evaluate and contribute diagnostic information to problems of the central and peripheral nervous systems. As a specialty, it is closely aligned to both adult and paediatric Neurology and Neurosurgery. Clinical Neurophysiological investigations also play an important role in monitoring physiological function of the […]
