Study Notes
Multiple Sclerosis (MS)
- The most common age range for the onset of MS is between 20 and 50 years old.
- MS is more likely to develop in females, with a female-to-male ratio of approximately 2:1.
Neurology and Neuroscience
- The main difference between neurology and neuroscience is that neurology focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of disorders related to the nervous system, while neuroscience is a broader field that studies the structure and function of the nervous system.
Symptoms and Diagnosis
- A common symptom of MS is numbness or weakness in one or more limbs.
- One diagnostic tool NOT commonly used in neurology is MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) for epilepsy diagnosis (although it can be used for other neurological conditions).
Epilepsy
- The most common cause of epilepsy is genetics, with some people being born with a predisposition to develop the condition.
