Neuropathology
Neuropathology is the study of diseases of the nervous system. It is a subspecialty of anatomic pathology, neurology, and neurosurgery.
Neuropathologists are primarily involved in the diagnosis of diseases of brain, spinal cord, peripheral nerve and muscle by gross, microscopic and molecular examinations. These entities include brain tumors, Alzheimer disease and related neurodegenerative disorders, stroke and related cerebrovascular disorders, cerebral palsy and other developmental disorders of the brain, and the pathobiology of nerve and muscle diseases, such as the muscular dystrophies and neuropathies. A typical neuropathology practice includes both surgical and postmortem tissue diagnosis.
