Neuropathology

Neuropathology is the study of diseases affecting the nervous system, including the brain, spinal cord, and nerves. It involves examining tissue samples, often obtained during biopsies or autopsies, to identify and understand conditions like Alzheimer's disease, multiple sclerosis, and tumors. Neuropathologists utilize various techniques to analyze changes in cells and tissues, helping to diagnose diseases, guide treatment, and advance research. By understanding these conditions at a cellular level, neuropathology plays a crucial role in improving patient care and developing new therapies in neurology.
