Neurology

You need to have a 4-year medical degree & then at least 2 years of research/ residency training to train in your specific field.

The U.S. trained osteopath can become a board certified neurologist after several years of training. 1st the D.O. had to pass college, the MCAT, and medical school. Then this D.O. would have to be accepted into a Neurology residency program and then go to residency and then pass the Neurology boards. If the DO do this, then the DO will be able to call itself a board-certified neurologist.

Most D.O. neurologists just wanted to become neurologist and med school was just a means to an end. All US trained DO neurologists wish that the DO degree would change to MD or MD,DO. No DO neurologists do manipulation, so they would rather have the MD title. The very old stubborn dumb DOs in the AOA tightly control the title DO and don't want change so nothing ever changes.

There are no disadvantages of synapses that I am aware of, but without synapses you would die.

This is wrong... there are many disadvantages of synapses... Drugs such as cocaine, speed, crystal meth and so on increase the production of noradrenalin (a neurotransmitter) causing increased alertness, heightened emotions, high blood pressure, irritability and later depression and insomnia...

to me this is a disadvantage...

there are some more... i got it from my year 9 science text book

Symptoms of focal neurological defects may include numbness, tingling, blind spots or other visual disturbance, weakness, facial drooping, or difficulty speaking.

This is strictly a personal opinion. I would consult an osteopathic physician (DO) -- NOT a chiropractor (DC) -- first, and then have her refer me as needed.

No, women are more likely experience blackout than men.

Neurology requires many years of specialization and training. Some of the best medical schools in the country include Washington University in MO and Johns Hopkins University. These have some of the higher neurology program placement rates in the country.

Neurological means the study of the nervous system. The branch of mediance that deals with the structure and function of the nervous system and

Common medications used on a neurology unit include antiepileptics such as levetiracetam and phenytoin for seizure management, anticoagulants like warfarin and dabigatran for stroke prevention, and medications for migraine relief such as triptans. Additionally, patients may receive neuroprotective agents like edaravone for neurodegenerative diseases and muscle relaxants such as baclofen for spasticity. Pain management may involve opioids or nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) as well.

No, it merely affects the trigeminal and/or facial nerve of the face.

Yes, but it also includes the peripheral nerves that come off of the spinal cord and their relationship with the muscles in the body.

Unlikely; Bell's Palsy does not cause inflammation, merely nerve damage leading to partial facial paralysis on one side; however, with the paralysis, the mouth, cheek, and/or eye can appear "inflammed" due to its droopy or "lazy" appearance.

Vascular neurology is the branch of science that deals with treatment of vascular diseases of the nervous system. A neurologist is a physician who diagnoses and treats nervous system disorders. Diseased vessels that provide circulation to the nervous system can generate problems such as a stroke or hemorrhage that affects the brain or spinal cord. A vascular neurologist treats patients who have disorders of the veins and arteries in the nervous system.

Bell's palsy or Facial Paralysis occurs on one side of the face as a result of an inflamed seventh cranial (facial) nerve; generally lasts only 2 to 8 weeks but may last longer in older individuals. The cause is still UNKNOWN; possible viral link.
