====Clinical neuroscience==== {{Main|Neurotherapy}} {{Further|Clinical neuroscience}} Neurology, psychiatry, neurosurgery, psychosurgery, anesthesiology and [[pain medicine]], neuropathology, [[neuroradiology]], [[ophthalmology]], [[otolaryngology]], [[clinical neurophysiology]], [[addiction medicine]], and [[sleep medicine]] are some medical specialties that specifically address the diseases of the nervous system. These terms also refer to clinical disciplines involving diagnosis and treatment of these diseases.<ref>{{cite web |title=Neurologic Diseases |url=https://medlineplus.gov/neurologicdiseases.html |website=medlineplus.gov |publisher=National Library of Medicine (NIH) |access-date=25 September 2023}}</ref> [[Neurology]] works with diseases of the central and peripheral nervous systems, such as [[amyotrophic lateral sclerosis]] (ALS) and [[stroke]], and their medical treatment. [[Psychiatry]] focuses on [[Affect (psychology)|affective]], behavioral, [[cognition|cognitive]], and [[perception|perceptual]] disorders. [[Anesthesiology]] focuses on perception of pain, and pharmacologic alteration of consciousness. [[Neuropathology]] focuses upon the classification and underlying pathogenic mechanisms of central and peripheral nervous system and muscle diseases, with an emphasis on morphologic, microscopic, and chemically observable alterations. [[Neurosurgery]] and [[psychosurgery]] work primarily with surgical treatment of diseases of the central and peripheral nervous systems.<ref>{{cite book |title=A.D.A.M.
