Behavioral Neurology

Behavioral neurology is a branch of neurology that studies how brain function affects behavior, emotions, and cognition. It investigates the relationship between neurological conditions—like strokes, head injuries, and neurodegenerative diseases—and changes in thinking, personality, and social interactions. By understanding these connections, behavioral neurologists aim to diagnose and treat disorders that impact cognitive abilities and behavior, helping patients improve their quality of life. This field combines insights from neuroscience, psychology, and medicine to address how brain abnormalities influence what we think, feel, and do.
