Neurology is practically "fragmented" into many private branches, distinguished as separate sciences - neuroanatomy, neurophysiology, otoneurology, neuroimmunology, neuropharmacology, neuropsychology, neuroophthalmology, etc., although neurology, as a medical science and the resulting limited practice, is relatively young: less than 150 years ago, its separation from the extensive medicine of "internal diseases" began with the descriptions of a whole series of diseases of the nervous system by Charcot and his students, collaborators, contemporaries, first in France, then in England, Germany, Russia and other countries.
The new science thus separated then "returns" to internal medicine as imposing itself with the conceptuality of neurological thinking, with the strict algorithm of constructing neurological thinking, with the accumulated facts (clinical and experimental) that prove the enormous importance of including the nervous system in every organ and/or systemic disease. Here we deliberately do not include the enormous significance of the specific brain activity, united in the concept of "psyche", which places man, as well as his manifestations in a state of health, as well as in diseased deviations, at the top of the evolution of living nature.
The first part of the textbook is designed as "General Neurology" and includes descriptive anatomy of the nervous system, physiology of the nervous system, functional anatomo-physiology through a description of the main functions of the nervous system (movement and sensation) with the inclusion of clinical reflexology and finally - semiotics and syndromology of damage to the nervous system of the different structures and floors. The topical ones are not left out either diagnosis in neurology, problems of sleep, wakefulness and consciousness as basic functions of the nervous system.
The second section - "Special neurology" - describes the diseases of the CNS according to the accepted and known sections: inflammatory, vascular, traumatic, tumor, degenerative, familial and hereditary diseases, and diseases of the peripheral nervous system, neuroses, epilepsy, developmental disorders are presented separately of the nervous system, some intoxication diseases and syndromes.
