Neurology, like internal medicine before it, has increasingly differentiated into various subspecialties. The core of neurology consists of fields such as epilepsy, stroke, dementia, neuromuscular disease, and movement disorders. These are illnesses that are cared for and studied virtually entirely by neurologists. However in the real-world general hospital and ambulatory practice, the vast majority of neurology occurs at the interfaces with other disciplines. These include otoneurology, vestibular neurology, cancer neurology, neuroophthalmology, pain neurology, sleep neuorology, critical care neurology, neuropsychiatry, uroneurology, neurological complications of general medical disease, and neurological infectious diseases. Most modern academic neurology departements now have some people, often entire divisions, devoted to these areas. Stringkly missing is the increasingly important area of neurotoxicology.rn rn
