This field focuses on understanding the underlying pathology, causes, and mechanisms of conditions such as neurodegenerative diseases, brain tumors, infections, and traumatic injuries that impact the central and peripheral nervous systems. Neuropathologic investigations involve analyzing tissue samples, conducting autopsies, and utilizing advanced imaging techniques to diagnose and characterize neurological disorders.
