Neurological disorders are conditions that affect the brain, spinal cord, and nerves throughout the body. They can impact functions such as movement, sensation, thinking, and emotions. Common examples include Alzheimer's disease, which affects memory, Parkinson's disease, which affects movement, and multiple sclerosis, which disrupts communication between the brain and the body. These disorders can result from various factors, including genetics, infections, brain injuries, and environmental influences. Treatment may involve medications, therapy, or lifestyle changes, and ongoing research aims to better understand and manage these complex conditions.
