The great progress achieved in the recent decades in biochemistry, immunology, genetics and molecular biology exert favourable effect on the development of neurology. New informative and non-invasive diagnostic methods are introduced in the meantime: ultrasonic, computer tomography, nuclear-magnetic resonance, positron emission tomography.
