A neurologist specializes in the brain--the most complex part of the human body, which acts as the body's control center. It controls thoughts, memory, speech and movement. It regulates the function of many organs, such as your heart and lungs. When the brain is healthy, it works quickly and automatically. However, when problems occur, the results can be devastating.
