Neurological Diseases: Clinical Mechanisms

The brain and the spinal cord are protected by tough membranes, and isolated chemically by the blood-brain barrier but are extremely susceptible if such protective barriers are compromised. Nerves can be exposed to damage, and neurons and neural networks can be electrochemically and structurally disrupted. All these can trigger structural, electrical and biochemical abnormalities of the brain, spinal cord or other nerves and cause neurological diseases. Such diseases are categorized according to the primary location affected or the underlying cause of the condition into peripheral nervous system disorders and central nervous system disorders. These may be assessed by a neurological examination. Some of the interventions of neurological disorders are lifestyle changes, neurorehabilitation, physiotherapy and surgical procedures. This book aims to shed light on some of the different neurological diseases and the recent researches in their clinical mechanisms. The topics included herein are of utmost significance and bound to provide incredible insights to readers. It is a vital tool for all researching or studying neurological disorders as it gives incredible insights into emerging trends and concepts.
