December 1st — International Neurologist's Day

Every person, even not related to medicine, knows that the first day of winter all over the world is the official World AIDS Day. However, few people know that on this day representatives of another medical specialty celebrate their professional holiday. Surely each of us is familiar with the expression “all illnesses come from nerves”, and some have even applied it to themselves. And there is a fair amount of truth in this, since the nervous system, indeed, takes part in the control of almost all life processes. By regulating internal organs, the nervous system takes part in ensuring motor activity and sensitivity, digestion and hematopoiesis, the functioning of secretory glands and urination. The science of the physiological and pathological state of the organs of the nervous system is called neurology, and on December 1, all doctors, representatives of this specialty, celebrate their professional holiday - World Neurologist’s Day.
