The human body is a complex system, with specialized structures that work together to allow us to maintain life, think, move and feel. The system that is responsible for transmitting messages from one part of the body to another is called the nervous system.

The nervous system includes the brain, spinal cord, peripheral nerves and related structures. Physicians who specialize in treating diseases and disorders of the nervous system are called neuromedicine specialists. They include neurologists, neurosurgeons, physical medicine/rehabilitation specialists, interventional radiologists and specially trained anesthesiologists.
