Neuropathology

Neuropathology is the study of pathology focused on the disease of the brain, spinal cord and neural tissue. This is made up of both the central nervous system and the peripheral nervous system. Neuropathologists usually work in an anatomical pathology department for a diagnosis. Tissue analysis appears from surgical biopsies or post mortem autopsies and these tissue samples include muscle fibers and nerve tissue. It is also related to forensic pathology because a brain disease or brain injury can be related to brain death
