Neurologists also prevent neurological disorders and reduce neurological disability. Some pediatric neurologists focus on certain conditions that are complex and need extensive treatments because the field of neurology is vast. The conditions include brain tumors, epilepsy, cerebral palsy. They are involved in providing direct care for the conditions of the brain and nervous system in the clinic and in the hospital.
