Abstract

Neurology deals with the study and management of disorders of the nervous system. Considerable research is in progress in basic neurosciences and clinical neurology. The management is mostly medical. Many neurological disorders require surgical intervention, and the closely related specialty of surgical neurology or neurosurgery will also be considered in this chapter. There is a considerable scope for application of nanobiotechnology in neurology and hence the term nanoneurology (Jain 2009a). Nanobiotechnology has been applied for neurophysiological studies, diagnosis, neuropharmacology, and refinement of surgical tools. Neuroprotection is an important objective in treatment of diseases of the central nervous system (CNS).
