Neurology for the Humanities

This publication introduces readers from non-medical fields to neurology—an independent branch of modern medicine that specialises in diseases of the central and peripheral nervous systems—in an accessible format. The aim is to present the subject matter as clearly and approachably as possible, while maintaining a professional tone, but without overwhelming details. For this reason, the explanation is supplemented with a number of diagrams, illustrations, medical examination results, and photographs.

The text is clearly structured and provides a structured summary of the basic symptoms and specific diagnoses related to nervous system disorders. The book discusses the examination options available in modern medicine, and also summarises the recommended procedures and limitations of pharmacological and non-pharmacological treatment of neurological diseases. To anchor the topic, the basic aspects of the structure and function of the nervous system as such are briefly mentioned. Key developmental aspects are not overlooked either.
