Forensic Neuropathology

Forensic neuropathology is a specialized branch of pathology that focuses on studying the brain and nervous system in legal contexts. Forensic neuropathologists examine tissues from the brain and spinal cord to determine causes of death, assess brain injuries, or investigate diseases linked to crimes. They play a crucial role in criminal investigations, helping to clarify whether conditions like trauma, toxins, or diseases contributed to a person's death. Their findings can provide essential evidence in court, contributing to a deeper understanding of complex medical issues related to legal cases.
