Neuropathology

Neuropathology is a specialized field of study that focuses on the examination and analysis of diseased or damaged nervous system tissues. It encompasses the investigation of various neurological disorders, such as neurodegenerative diseases, brain tumors, infections, and trauma. Neuropathologists utilize advanced laboratory techniques to examine tissue samples, identify abnormal cellular changes, and understand the underlying pathological mechanisms. Their findings contribute to the diagnosis, classification, and prognosis of neurological conditions, aiding in the development of targeted treatment strategies. By studying the structural and molecular alterations in nervous system tissues, neuropathology plays a crucial role in advancing our understanding of neurological diseases and improving patient care.
