Nervous system ailments
Neurological diseases are disorders affecting the nervous system—the brain, spinal cord, and nerves.
They range from degenerative conditions like Alzheimer's and Parkinson's to epilepsy, multiple sclerosis, and stroke.
Some are inherited, others result from infection, injury, or unknown causes.
