Neurologists treat disorders of the nervous system, brain, spinal cord, nerves, muscles and pain. Common neurological disorders include: stroke, Alzheimer's disease, headache, epilepsy, Parkinson's disease, sleep disorders, multiple sclerosis, pain, tremor, brain and spinal cord injuries, brain tumors, peripheral nervous disorders and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.

A neurologist is a medical specialist that evaluates for neurological diseases, which include disorders of the brain, spinal cord, peripheral nerve, and muscles. The initial consultation in the office consists of asking you many questions about your problem and then doing what is called a neurological examination. The purpose of the examination is to evaluate for any signs that might suggest that there could be a neurological problem (brain, spinal cord, peripheral nerve, or muscle disorder).

There’s an old-fashioned belief that brain development takes place early in childhood and then stops by the time we reach maturity. In fact, recent research has shown that the brain never stops changing in response to input from the environment. Sensory information gathered by receptors in the muscles and joints, for example, can alter the function of brain systems, which in turn affect the function of those receptors.

Depending on the location of dysfunction, the chiropractic neurologist may work directly on the muscles, joints, or nervous system. Treatments may include chiropractic adjustments, neuromuscular re-education exercises, or stimulation of the auditory, visual, vestibular (balance), or other sensory systems.

Any practitioner should have a comprehensive understanding of the patient’s condition before performing joint manipulation. Of all the practitioners just mentioned, only chiropractors receive four years of formal training in both the art of joint manipulation and the science of the biomechanics of joints. In addition, only chiropractic neurologists have specialized advanced training in the neurological systems interacting with the musculoskeletal system. See similar questions...

A neurosurgeon treats patients who may potentially benefit by surgery. This would include patients with disc disease and narrowing of the cervical, lumbar and thoracic spines, tumors of the brain and spine, aneurysms in the brain, head and spine injuries, peripheral nerve problems such as carpal tunnel and ulnar nerve injuries, and surgically treatable forms of epilepsy and Parkinson's disease.

A neurologist and a neurosurgeon are similar to a cardiologist and a cardiac surgeon: the neurosurgeon employs surgical means to treat neurological disorders, while the neurologist identifies neurological disorders through diagnostic testing and uses medical (pharmacolgic) means to treat them.

All the other males and females are either workers or soldiers. Workers search for food and help build nests for the queen. Soldiers are larger than workers and remove dirt from the tunnels and defend the colony against predators. Mostly the rufous-beaked snake. If a snake tries to enter a tunnel, the soldiers block it with dirt. If they can't block it quickly, a soldier will sacrifice itself by letting the snake eat her or him. See similar questions...

The radio control system has a range of one half mile to two miles, depending on the terrian, he weather, who you ask, etc. But practically speaking, the helicopter becomes a tiny speck at 100 yards or more. If you can't see it clearly, you can't fly it properly. If you can't fly it carefully, you will crash it immediately. See similar questions...
